Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data
Data refreshed
Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING GIVING ME ERRONEOUS HIGH AND LOW READINGS. I NOTICED IN AUGUST 2011, GM ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. MY ENVOY IS 11-1/2 YEARS OLD, BUT ONLY HAS APPROX. 87,500 MILES ON IT. SEEING THIS IS AN OBVIOUSLY SAFETY ISSUE WHICH HAS LED TO AT LEAST 1 KNOWN ACCIDENT, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYWAY THAT YOU CAN HELP ME GET GM TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE TO MY ENVOY? MY ENVOY ALSO RECENTLY HAD A SPECIAL COVERAGE INITIATED FOR THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM). I WAS ABLE TO GET THAT FIXED BECAUSE GM ISSUED THE COVERAGE FOR A TOTAL OF 12 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES. SO THE PRECEDENT HAS BEEN SET TO PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR A VEHICLE MY AGE. ANY HELP THAT YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

Crash reported
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED DURING DRIVING AT NIGHT NEARLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MANY LIVES COULD BE AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THIS WELL KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY GMC. THERE IS A GMC RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T INCLUDED. GMC NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE THIS ISSUE AND INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES. THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND SHOULD MAKE EFFORTS TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR
