2005 GMC Envoy Lighting problems

DIM LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING NOT WANTING TO STAY ON

About 4 years I noticed my low beam headlights sometimes would not work at night, forcing me to drive with my high beams on, blinding other motorists. This was reported to the dealer's service manager and he said it may cost $500 to determine the cause. I could not afford this expenditure. I try to avoid driving at night and only recently I had to drive at night and again my low beams would not work, forcing me to again drive with my high beams on. My fianc did a google search and learned this is a common...

I had just drove my truck the night before headlights worked fine. I went to leave the next night and no headlights at all. So vehicle was stationary when I realized I had no headlights. I have to drive with my brights on at night. I have no regular headlights at all. Then my passenger side window just quit working as well.

While driving, low beam headlamps will turn off without warning...High beam headlamps still function

A while back, we noticed while driving down the interstate at night that our lights seemed to be flickering (low beams). It would do it occasionally, but we never knew when it would happen. Since then, we have had the lights go completely out while driving, and had to turn the fog lamps on to have headlights of any sort. Tonight, the lights went out, and I pulled into my driveway and was going to have my husband come out and see what was going on if he could. While I sat there with the car running and in park,...

The low beam headlights went out while driving 50mph on a highway because a relay in the fuse box overheated and melted the fuse box. I know there is already a recall on the trailblazer from the same year because they are the same car but there is not one for the envoy.

Low beam headlights go off without warning. High beams still work. This has happened when moving on city roads and highways. The next time I drive the car the low beams may or may not work.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 gmc envoy. The contact stated that the exterior low beam headlamp failed without warning. The dealer was not contacted. The contact previously replaced the headlamp relay independently, but the failure occurred approximately three times. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000.

The vehicles headlights keep going out at night will driving. I have been dealing with this problem for about 2 years, I am a certified mechanic and I believe the problem is the headlight relay that is overheating. This is the same gm part that is being recalled in other gm vehicles. Gm part # 15016745. So why has it not been recalled in 05 . The problem happens at random the light will go out while driving or parked it does not matter.

My problem is covered under recall 14291 but my year isn't included. Despite numerous bulb replacements and mechanic visits, my vehicle's low-beam headlights do not work. I've contacted gm, but they offered no solution that's affordable. I have no headlight other than high-beams. Please help and make gm investigate this problem on all their 2005 model year vehicles.

I've had my 2005 envoy for a little over a year and had my headlights flash on and off while driving on the road and freway. On one occasion while driving on a two lane highway ay night the lights went out completely for a few seconds. I was so scared wss really glad for no one behind me or on coming traffic. On another occassion I had to pull over on city street as my lights were going on and off and I could see the car ahead was a cop and I didnt want him to think I was flashing for help especially at 2 in the...

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 gmc envoy. While driving at any speed, the exterior lighting failed. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vin was excluded from nhtsa campaign number: 15v599000 (visibility). The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Reading numerous complaints that compare to mine the fuel gauge, oil gauges, air conditioner are all malfunctioning in my car and I'm very upset because all of this should have been recalled. I purchased my car brand new in 2005 and I will never buy a gmc car again for this reason it's one thing to recall repair parts that were broken that to repair malfunction parts. Very disappointed. In short my gauges don't work, my air conditioner only works on one side and now my headlights low bean don't work. Gmc needs to recall and repair.

Lights go off and won't come back on for 2 hours. You can smell something burning but cannot find where it is coming from. I have replaced all bulbs 3 times. And nothing changes.

I had trouble with the gauge that shows overheating.I took the car in to put in a thermostat thinking it was the problem,but when I took it in they said that my cluster was bad and the gauges were messed up.I paid $392.00 For the cluster and $100.00 For labor.I bought this vehicle used with 119,000 miles on it on 6/20/2011 and on 2/23/2013 I had the cluster replaced with mileage of 132,356. I put on new brakes at this time since the had a habit of grabbing and making me slide and jerk to a stop.The only problem I...

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 gmc envoy. While driving, the contact noticed that the front passenger side headlight flickered and failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the headlight and fuse; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to an independent mechanic, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 133,000.

I was driving down the highway after dark and my low beams completely went out. I could only get my high beams to work. Currently only one low beam is working and the other will not work even after changing the bulb or the fuse. I believe this is a huge safety concern especially having a young child. It was very scary going down the road at night and have your lights completely just go out. I have noticed that there are issues with 06-07 envoys but I wanted gm to be made aware that 2005 models have been affected as well.

I was driving on a curvy 2 lane road in the country and the sun was just setting and I couldn't get any lights on my car. My lights are automatic and I just assumed that I had bumped a button and accidentally turned them off, so I started turning the switch to turn them on and it wasn't working. I almost drove off the road several times trying to get some light on. I then hit a section where tree lined curved section that was pretty dark. There had been no shoulder or anywhere to pull over there or for several...

The very same thing described in nhtsa campaign 14v755000, gm safety recall 14291, began happening to my 2005 gmc envoy xl. My headlights flickered off and on. In time, my headlights stayed off longer and longer. Only the low beams and the daytime running lights seemed to be affected. I could find no discernible reason or connection to any action or setting on the car. When the lights go out when I am driving at night and remain off for more than a second or two, it is very dangerous, so I quit driving at night in...

As I was driving the vehicle, the dashboard lit up and the odometer and all the information systems went to zero. This has happened often over the years. I took it to two gmc car dealerships and the first one said it was the kill switch installed by a buy here pay here dealership. The kill switch was removed and the dashboard continued to flicker. Then the car would not start, I took it to another dealership and was told they couldn't find anything. The car began to tribble, again I took it in and was told that I...

The first day we had the truck the speedometer displayed the wrong speed and has been that way. It works occasionally. Then a week later the low beam head lights went out while driving. They came back on after a few mins. This happened again a few days ago. The fuel gage is in accurate as well. I took it to a shop and they said the instrument cluster needs to be replaced but found no issues with the head lights but there is definitely an issue with the headlights and that is very dangerous. *Tr

We were driving at night and the head lights went out leaving us in the dark. We have checked the fuses but they are all fine. The fuel gauge does not come off of empty even though we fill it up. *Tr
