I was driving down the highway and all of my instrument panel gauges stopped working and the indicator lights came on for the entire system. this problem continues to happen and gmc will not fix this problem. they say i have too many miles and that my vehicle is not part of the recall. this now continues to happen and the whole electric system is in failure, i can't start the vehicle now and this is 2013. chronic ongoing problem that poses major safety issues with speed, fuel and much more. *tr

I had been in a front end collision by a drunk driver turning directly in front of me while traveling at a speed of about 50 mph, 5 mph under the speed limit in a 2003 gmc envoy slt. i have just spent 1700.00 on the vehicle as there had been a service soon light on about a month ago. my concern is that the airbags did not deploy? i am very concerned with replacing my auto with the same manufacturer due to the situation. i am wondering if there have been related issues. at present i am encountering headaches and stiffness which i hope to have looked at by my family physician tomorrow. my passenger has experienced the same. *jb

While traveling at or less than 35 mph, on bright sunny day and on dry pavement vehicle would not stop, brake pedal went to the floor. let it up and pressed it to the floor again without success. on third attempt jammed the pedal to the floor and the entire car locked up. the steering wheel wouldn't turn, at least one wheel locked, hit the car that was stopped at the stop light. even after stopping only the service engine check light and the stop engine light illuminated. the brake pedal remained to the floor , and i couldn't not shift into park until after jamming on the pedal several times. 9000 in damage to the vehicle, including the frame had to be pulled, and yet the airbag did not deploy. 4ooo miles to the other vehicle. no injuries.*ak

The check engine light came on and i smelled gas. the dealer informed me that there was a crack between gas tank and the filler neck. the fuel tank was never work on or removed before. because i did not have the extend warranty and had 56,00 mile there was nothing they could do for me. they also told me that this was a rare thing but they are still not wanting to assist me in the repair which will cost a $1,000.*ak

Faulty driver side seat belt that will not release to fasten. i have taken the car in and the repair person said that there was nothing wrong, and that it just was catching on something. also, the passenger side door behind the drivers seat was very hard to open the repair person at the same dealership broke the handle trying to open the door. the repair shop did fix the handle for free, however the door remains still very hard to open and i would not use this particular door. after a while the door would not close and the door latch had to be replaced at my expense. the back window would not go all the way up and the actuator had to be replaced also. i am not sure what month the first incidence took place, but everything seemed to happen quickly afterwards.*jb

I was in a center frontal impact accident at 35-40 mph with a vehicle that pulled in front of me (t-bone accident) and my airbags failed to deploy. *ak
