MY DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW / DOOR REGULATOR ASSEMBLY CABLE FRAYED AND THE WINDOW WOULD NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN UNTIL REPAIRED. THIS HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW IN AUGUST 2014. NOW IN MARCH 2015, BEING 7 MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WINDOW / DOOR REGULATOR ASSEMBLY. I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 5000 MILES A YEAR, I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED IN TO FOR THE DEFECT OF FAULTY CABLING / POOR QUALITY. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME THAT I WILL PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITHIN A YEAR. *TR

MY 2007 GMC ENVOY HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. THE AIR CONDITIONER ITSELF FUNCTIONS WELL WHEN IT'S WORKING, BUT A FEW MINUTES AFTER TURNING IT ON THE BLOWER STOPS WORKING. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT AFTER THE CONTROLS ARE TURNED OFF AND THE UNIT STAYS OFF FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IT WILL BEGIN TO WORK AGAIN IF TURNED ON AGAIN. IT SEEMS OTHER USERS ARE HAVING SOME OF THE SAME ISSUES. I WOULD REALLY LIKE INFORMATION ON FILING A RECALL REQUEST. *TR
