I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI THAT CAUGHT FIRE THIS MORNING, IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE, CAUSED IN THE HVAC BLOWER CIRCUIT, THE CIRCUIT FUSE DID NOT BLOW, THE CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE, AND AN OPEN FLAME WAS CREATED. I MANAGED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT, HOWEVER SOMEONE ELSE IN THIS SITUATION MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY, LET ALONE EXTINGUISH THE FIRE AS IT WAS UNDER THE DASH BEHIND THE GLOVEBOX. THE SYMPTOMS BEFORE THE FIRE WERE AS FOLLOWS: 1)A FAINT BURNING ELECTRICS SMELL (ELECTRICAL SMOKE IS VERY DISTINCTIVE) 2)BLOWER QUIT RUNNING(WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF SMELL) 3)CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE (WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF SMELL) TO THE POINT I COULD NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD 4)OPEN FLAME WAS PRESENT UNDER DASH (WITHIN 2 MINUTES OF SMELL) THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, 50MPH, HEATING SYSTEM WAS RUNNING, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE 5* FAHRENHEIT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE POINT AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPAIR KITS AVAILABLE WITH NEW WIRING CONNECTORS TO REPLACE DAMAGED ONES WHEN REPLACING SPEED RESISTOR THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR SYSTEM

HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE HEATER'S BLOWER MOTOR NOT BLOWING OR SOMETIMES BLOWING BUT NOT ON EVERY SPEED. LOOKED UP ISSUE ON YOUTUBE AND FOUND MANY VIDEOS OF THE SAME ISSUE AND THE VIDEOS SHOWED THEM HAVING TO REPLACE THE HEATER'S BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER. AS THE RESISTER WAS BEING REPLACED, WE NOTICED THE RESISTER WAS MELTED ONTO THE PLUG IT PLUGS INTO AND THE THICK RED WIRE WAS ALSO MELTED. RESISTER GOT REPLACED AND THE BLOWER SPEEDS ALL WORKED AGAIN. SHORTLY AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE NEW RESISTER, THE NUMBER 5 SPEED FAILED BUT ALL OTHERS CONTINUED. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE RESISTER FAILED. EXCHANGED AND REPLACED THE RESISTER AGAIN AND WORKED ON ALL SPEEDS BUT 5 AGAIN. HAD A SMELL TO IT WHILE IN USE, WE GOT USE TO IT AND THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT ANYMORE. WORKED FOR OVER 2 YEARS UNTIL 1/12/2019 WHEN AS THE ENVOY WAS IN MY YARD WARMING UP IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT AND WARNING AND BURNED UNDER THE GLOVE BOX CATCHING THE CONTENTS IN THE GLOVE BOX ON FIRE AND MAKING THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES AND EVEN HAD AN EXPLOSION INSIDE THE VEHICLE. BLACK SMOKE WAS POURING OUT ON THE AREA OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER AREA. THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE WINDSHIELD ABOVE THE WIPER.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-75 AT 10:30PM MY HEADLIGHTS JUST RANDOMLY WENT OFF! I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND I WAS IN AN AREA THAT HAD NO LIGHTS ALONGSIDE THE ROAD. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES TO ATTEMPT TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER I SLOWED ENOUGH TO MOVE OVER, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT BACK ON. I WAS SO SHOOK UP, I'M NOT SURE IF MY REAR LIGHTS WENT OFF AS WELL. THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS PAST WEEKEND AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ACTUALLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RE-START MY CAR TWICE BEFORE MY LIGHTS WENT BACK ON.TODAY, ON MY WAY TO WORK, IN THE DARK, JUST BEFORE I WAS PULLING INTO OUR PARKING LOT, THEY WENT OFF AGAIN. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I PRESS ON THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW BUTTONS, MY LIGHTS DIM AND THEN BRIGHTEN. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE DASH LIGHT FOR THE GAS CAP TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. IN ADDITION, MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, DOES NOT GO OFF AND YET, IT NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE DANGEROUS AIRBAGS GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. ALL OF THE ABOVE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.I'M NOT SURE IF THESE ARE RELATED OR NOT. ALL OF THE ISSUES ARE VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I HAVE 2006 GMC ENVOY, WHOLE DOOR PANEL WENT OUT BEFORE RECALL, SO WE PAID $2000 AND HAD FIXED, WHEN RECALL CAME OUT, THEY REIMBURSED US. BUT BECAUSE RECALL WASN'T OUT YET I AM THINKING THEY PUT OLD PART IN, THIS WAS AROUND 2008. YOU CANNOT DRIVE A CAR SAFELY WITH NOTHING WORKING ON DRIVER DOOR, I HAVE KIDS IN BACK I NEED WINDOW LOCK, CAN'T OPEN MY DOOR OR WINDOW IF EMERGENCY HAPPENED. VERY FRUSTRATING. I GOT A LETTER IN AUGUST 2015 STATING THAT RECALL #12180 DRIVER DOOR SWITCH SHORT CIRCUIT RECALL HAD NOT BEEN DONE ON MY CAR YET. AND APPROXIMATELY A WEEK LATER IT WENT OUT, I HAD BEEN GETTING THESE CARDS BUT BECAUSE I HAD IT DONE IN 2008 I ASSUMED IT WAS FINE, BUT NOW DOING EXACT SAME THING, SO THE GMC RECALL CARD SAYS TAKE TO GARBER GMC IN GREEN COVE SPRINGS, FL AND WILL FIX FOR FREE, FIRST TIME I TOOK IT UP THERE THEY SAID PART NOT LISTED ON COMPUTER SO CAN'T DO IT CAUSE GMC WON'T PAY THEM BACK, THEN GOT SERVICE MGR INVOLVED AND HE SAID BRING IT UP AND HE WILL CHARGE ME $90 TO DIAGNOSE IT, I SAID I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. HE WAIVED IT TO SEE IF IT WAS THE RECALL PART, WHEN I CALLED TO CHECK ON IT THE SERVICE MAN THAT HANDLED IT SAID IT WAS THAT PART BUT THE RECALL HAD CLOSED, MY CAR HAD TOO MANY MILES ON IT, ETC.. WHAT DOES THAT MATTER? I KNOW IT IS THE SAME PART, IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. THEN I GET FROM SERVICE MANAGER WE WILL DO FOR $500.00, WHEN FIRST TIME COST US $2000, MY HUSBAND SAID NO, WE HAVE CARD HERE SAYING THIS IS RECALL AND YOU WILL FIX FOR NO CHARGE, NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT ISN'T THAT PART, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL STORIES, BUT IF IT WAS RECALLED THEY NEED TO FIX IT. WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS DONE BEFORE THE RECALL CAME OUT. THEY PROBABLY PUT OLD PART IN THEN, BECAUSE RECALL HAD NOT BEEN PUT OUT YET. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY CAR FIXED, VERY FRUSTRATING, DANGEROUS AS WELL. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE SERVICING MY VEHICLE AT AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP, I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECENT RECALL REGARDING HEADLAMPS WHICH GET HOT AND CAN FAIL. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 8 MONTHS SINCE THAT RECALL WAS ISSUED, AND YET THERE REMAINS NO IDENTIFIABLE REMEDY OR SOLUTION AS TO HOW THEY WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND REPAIR / REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS.. ENTITLED TO SAFE VEHICLES, I AM UNSURE AS TO HOW OR WHY GM WOULD BELIEVE THAT 8 MONTHS TO NOT EVEN HAVE ANNOUNCED A SOLUTION IS AN ABSURDITY. AT THIS POINT, THE PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH THE MANUFACTURER HAS HAD TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AS A CONSUMER. I AM UNDER THE BELIEF THAT THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLE, THEY ARE GOING LET THE VEHICLES AGE A FEW MORE YEARS AND HOPE BY THAT TIME, ADDITIONAL VEHICLES REQUIRING REPAIR WILL NO LONGER BE ON THE ROAD AND THE ISSUE WILL MAGICALLY GO AWAY. AS OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE, I AM ENTITLED TO THE REMEDY AS PROMISED UNDER RECALL GM 14291, AND I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR MANUFACTURERS TO SIT ON OPEN RECALLS FOR VEHICLES CURRENTLY ON OUR ROADWAYS WHICH HAVE BEEN ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS HAVING A SAFETY DEFECT IN NEED OF DEFECT REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR.
