The headlights will go off while driving. I was driving out of my gym parking lot at 10pm. On a icy night. They will not turn back on. However the highbeams, fog lights side markers work. Very dangerous and safety is definitely at risk not only for myself but for my children. There is a recall for this on the 2006 model. Someone may have recieved the wrong information or disregarded the numerous complaints of this model as well. This requires attention ASAP.
While driving the car it cuts off while in the drive gear. This happenened 4 times, twice while driving on the beltway all within a 3 week period. I hav e to put the car in park and wait about 2 minutes then start it up again. I was scared to drive the car after the second time stopping on the beltway, so I had the car towed to the shop. This was very dangerous and stressful not knowing when the car would stop at any given time. The dealer had to replace the computer in the car at a cost on $690. 00, from me. I think this is unacceptable and that I should be compensated for this amount. If this model needs to be recalled then it should be before someone gets hurt or killed. I will be writing the better business bureau also to file a complaint. I get my maintenance on this vehicle on a regular basis. I'm glad that I was not seriously hurt when this car stopped on the beltway. My car was repaired on July 16,2016, at anderson of hunt valley, 10125 york road, cockeysville MD 21030. Phone # 410-403-1300. They did a great job in replacing the computer, now I need to be compensated for my $690. 00. Thanking you in advance for your time and cooperation. Sincerely mrs pinder.
There is not a dealership that is able to fix the recall on my vehicle that is near me. Gm recall #: 15037 NHTSA # 15v519 date issued: Jan 06, 2015 recall title: recall 15037 - headlamp driver module recall status: incomplete.
I was trying to shut down my car and even though my car was in park, I couldn't get my key out of the ignition. When I was finally able to, after a few times, the battery light stayed on. It took multiple attempts until I could finally shut off my car with the car battery not being drained. Additionally, and I don't know when this started, both of the back doors no longer will open from the inside and the SUV back won't open from the outside. The ac blowers will blow cold intermittently. There is plenty of coolant. No dealer will look at it because there are no SAAB dealers.
While driving at night the headlights were set on automatic mode when all of a sudden they went out and I tried to turn them to the regular on position and they did not come on, the high beams did not work either. This has happened on several occasions and from what I read on line I'm not the only one that has this issue. I believe the recall should include my 2005 model as well. Other electrical issues! (instrument panel-gages) most tacked out, also speedometer gage issues (gets stuck at one speed and when yu slow down it doesn't go back down but if you get back up to speed it will continue to climb showing a false speed of 95-mph but actually only going about 55-mph.
Was driving down side street, reached for something in passenger seat, drew my hand back making very gentle contact with ignition key in center console and car shut off. I hardly touched the key. This second time in early June, though I hit it with my cup (ice tea from mcdonalds). Then this weekend it happened again. It is very easy to bump it with your arm and have it shut off. I called GMC and they informed me that they wouldn't fix it, even though to me it seems like the same issue as with their other cars that are being recalled for the same reason. I think it should be recalled, and suspect that the ignition is the same that is in the GMC envoy, trailblazer, etc. Also, the 2007 was recalled, and I think the 2008 should be as well. My car is available for someone to inspect it anytime if you would like to see how easy it is for it to happen.
My vehicle has a very strong gas odor inside and outside . You can walk by the rear of vehicle and smell gas. The gas odor is really strong when I put gas in SUV.
When driving the car, at about 50 mph it will begin to feel like the wheels are cutting loose, like you are on gravel. It has also begun to make a howling noise that seems to be coming from the wheels? nobody seems to really be able to pinpoint the problem. We have thought maybe it had to do with traction control. It sent my husband into the ditch though. We're lucky it didn't send him into traffic!.
