FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THE SEAT HEATER. THE VEHICLE PARKED AND TURNED OFF. IT WAS PARKED IN A HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS IN SCHOOL. WE CONTACTED GMC, BUT THEY SAID IT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WENT WRONG FOR IT TO JUST CATCH FIRE. CAN YOU HELP US IN ANYWAY AT ALL.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP, NOTICED IT STARTING TO HAVE ISSUES GETTING UP TO PROPER SPEED WITHOUT SLIPPING AND TRYING TO STALL, AND WAS TOLD BY PREVIOUS OWNER WHOM I'M PURCHASING IT FROM THAT THERE IS A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSFER CASE AS WELL, AS IT ENGAGES IT'S 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITHOUT ME TOUCHING IT, TRIED TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AND PUT FRESH FLUID AND A NEW FILTER IN TO SEE IF IT WOULD HELP AND NOW IT CAN ONLY GO AS FAST AS 40 TO 55 BEFORE IT STARTS TO SLIP PRETTY BAD. I HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY DUE IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS AND WITH IT SLIPPING AND DROPPING SPEED IT CAN CAUSE ME TO END UP GETTING HIT AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT MINE, MY CHILD, OR ANY OF MY OTHER PASSENGERS IN DANGER.

ONE DAY MY SUNROOF WORKED AND THE NEXT DAY IT WOULD NOT. IT WAS STUCK IN THE IN THE OPEN POSITION (NOT FULLY OPEN, BUT WHEN THE FRONT END RAISES AN INCH OR SO). I TOOK IT TO A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A WHOLE NEW ASSEMBLY AND QUOTED ME $2,100. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS DEFECT AT ALL. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY 85,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IT IS ONLY WORTH $5,000 AND I PAID OVER $14,000 FOR IT IN 2009 WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM A GM DEALERSHIP. I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE $2,100 ON THIS VEHICLE. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE THAT I HAVE HAD. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THEY FIXED THAT. THEN A YEAR LATER, WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY NEW BORN, THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION GOING 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER AND THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT, BUT IT WOULD COVER A RESTORATION OF THE COMPUTER. THEN WHEN I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE THE REFUSED TO LET ME TAKE IT UNTIL I PAID $200. MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING SINCE THAT AND CAN BARELY MAINTAIN IDLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT TIMES. NOW BACK TO THE SUNROOF, AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX IT THE MECHANIC TOOK OUT THE SUNROOF AND JUST SET IT IN THE FRAME SO AT LEAST WATER WOULD NOT GET IN WHEN IT RAINED. HOWEVER, IT IS JUST SITTING IN THERE AND CAN EASILY BE LIFTED OUT AND MAY EVEN GET BLOWN OUT ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN EXACTLY WILL THIS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD? WHEN MY SUNROOF BLOWS OFF ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSES A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT? OR WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN ON THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND MY CHILDREN AND I GET KILLED IN A PILE UP? GM HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF NEGLECTING TO RECALL VEHICLES WITH SAFETY ISSUES RECENTLY. CLEARLY, GM REFUSES TO PROTECT ITS CUSTOMERS. PLEASE HELP PROTECT CONSUMERS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

MY 04 GMC ENVOY WAS HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY NOT HOLDING A CHARGE I WENT AND PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AT AUTOZONE INSTALLED THE NEW BATTERY AFTER THE INSTALL WE WENT TO DRIVE OUR CAR AND THE AC WOULD ONLY BLOW THROUGH THE DEFROSTER VENTS AND FLOOR VENTS. I WENT ONLINE AND LOOKED AT MANY WEBSITES FORMS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS OF OTHER OWNERS STATING THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY. I HAVE FOUND OVER 5000 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE THIS SEEMS TO BEE A KNOWN ISSUE I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED NOW MY AC WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE OF A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ENVOYS AS WELL AS TRAILBLAZERS
