I have owned this vehicle for a year and it's had constant issue with low beam lightning. We replaced the relay thinking it was the problem but mechanic said it was an issue with this model. This car was mfg 1/08 and I honestly think it was assembled with the 2017 parts that were recalled.

My hedlights is not working.At night time while I am driving.

Air condition blower motor caught fire in dash and burnt the vehicle

On 10/24/2018 while driving my 2008 gmc envoy slt, I was involved in a head-on collision which resulted in my car being totaled. None of my air bags deployed.

Fire under the hood started, entire car burned in driveway, damaging house and a second car

My vehicle just suddenly stopped dead, in the road after leaving my residence and all control was lost. Unable to put transmission in neutral to push vehicle off road. I had it repaired by a trained mechanic and was told it was a faulty ignition. I had the faulty ignition replaced and the vehicle was operational again along with the worry of this happening again.

Have replaced right side front hub assembly twice, and have to replace it a third time, in 4 year's. Getting best part from o'reilly's auto parts. Vehicle is moving, feels like the front wheel is going to fly off, shaking, wobbly, just totally unsafe

This is a very unsafe vehicle. I purchased it for my husband and have seldom drove until recently when he was injured driving it. He drove through our garage and demolished it. I how drive it and find the brake and gas pedals the worst problem. No matter what shoes or boots you are wearing you cannot control the vehicle. It has cost us thousands in damage and repairs. I do not have pictures, but will obtain them and forward them. The car was just pulling up to be parked outside by out garage when the problem...

02.05.2018 -- Was at a superbowl party and my car was parked for 5 hours outside, it was about 20 degrees. Had a 10 minute drive home - parked car in garage and shut the garage door. While driving, I did use rear defroster and wiper blade, as there was snow on back window and it was snowing. Approximately 15 minutes after parking the vehicle,i heard a loud blast, like someone drove through my garage door. The rear window of my gmc envoy exploded into many pieces. Glass was inside and outside the vehicle. My garage is not heated. I have no idea how it happened. I called my insurance company immediately and am going to drive the car to a gmc dealership to have it fixed.

Michelin ltx m/s 245/65r17 tires - all four tires indicating cracking on tread surface. Notified dealer july 27, 2017. Dealer contacted michelin indicating 60% tread life remaining, and requested resolution under warranty. Michelin offered new comparable tires at cost to me which was greater then what I originally paid for the tires that lasted only 40% of their tread life. So unfair!! Michelin is extremely unscrupulous.

We have a 2008 envoy. We bought it brand new in 2008. The ignition switch has quit us 5 times. We usually have some warning. The first 3 times , the check engine light came on but I could eventually start the car and drive it to a mechanic to be checked out. The 4th time we were heading out of town, check engine light came on, my husband pulled over to side of the road and car quit. Would not start, had to tow it to mechanic. This last time, no warning, just quit as I was driving home. I was able to get it started...

I was driving at night and my low beam headlamps went out. They just went off. Panicking, I pulled off the road and tried turning them off and on. Testing, my high beams worked, but my lows were off. I turned the car off and waited a few minutes. Once turned back on, my lights worked. This the first time this happened, this has happened multiple times and there is no rhyme or reason and you never know when it will happen. I have seen this same issue with a year earlier and wonder if the problem extends to newer models. This recall should be extended to 2008 as it appears my vehicle is having the same issues. I have had diagnostics and replaced headlamps...The problem persists.

I filed a complaint with nhtsa, complaint 10923972, on 11/3/2016 referencing my dim lights spontaneously going out at night driving down the highway. I had researched this problem and found there was a recall because of the headlamp driver module failing, but my 2008 gmc envoy was not included. I received a letter from gmc the end of may 2017 providing additional protection for this problem and it was worded "if this condition "occurs" on your 2008 gmc envoy within 12 years or 150,000 miles the condition would be...

I received a letter from gmc in may stating there may be an issue with headlamp driver module (hdm) where the low beam headlamps will not work. At the time, my headlamps were working properly, so the letter advised me to not take my vehicle to my gmc dealer. However, two days ago my headlamps did not work at night while driving on the highway. This caused a severe safety issue as I could not see the road clearly. I took my vehicle and the letter I received to my gmc dealer. They advised me that gmc would not...

STABILITRACK LIGHT KEEP COMING ON

I was involved in a head on collision in which my vehicle struck two vehicles. The first vehicle made an illegal left hand turn in front of my vehicle at a lighted intersection. I was traveling at an approximate speed of 50mph on a highway intersection (posted speed limit 55mph). The front driver's side of my vehicle struck the front driver's side of the first vehicle (black sedan pictured). My vehicle continued to strike a second vehicle (pickup in picture) that was stopped at the red light of the cross street....

Passenger front seat belt does not work properly after attaching to proper seat connector seat belt locks up and no forward movement is allowed in non emergency situations. Seat belt must be detached as it is in a locked position. Upon unlocking belt returns to normal action. Belt must be reconnected and positioning must be retried sometimes requiring disconnection yet again. Belt was replaced at owners cost. Replacement belt has the same issues but not as frequently as original belt. Total cost to owner approx. 500.00 And not much improvement if any. I feel this can be a safety concern issue. Vehicle can be stationary or moving makes no difference. *Tr

While operating the 2008 gmc envoy on an interstate I observed what appeared to be a lack of light when the low beam headlights were turned on. I drove to a rest area and confirmed that the low beam headlights were inoperative. The bulbs were removed and both bulb filaments appeared intact. Fuses, breakers and relays were checked for secure seating. The high beam headlights were operative and all other lights functioned. I am aware of documentation that covers the issue but only up to the 2007 model year. There...

"Takata recall" when I first start the car and begin to accelerate the traction control system activates causing lose of power - very dangerous when pulling out into traffic. I have to disengage the system on the shift handle to prevent this from happening. I am also experiencing the abs problem of activation when coming to a stop in all conditions. It is already a recall for gmc vehicles up to 2004 but obviously not corrected. The traction control system activates every time after first starting the car. The abs system is sporatic. No warning that it is about to happen. These systems fail daily without exception.

My dim lights have quit working recently on my 2008 gmc envoy while driving down the highway. Has happened 4 times so far. Last time was 11/2/16. Bright lights still work. I found a gmc recall on years 2006-2007 ref the headlamp driver module which causes this problem. It seems they should include this year also. Extremely dangerous situation. *Tr
