2006 GMC Envoy Electrical System Problems

Went to drive home at night lights were working then all the sudden went out. Pulled over checked fuses n restarted auto and still no lights, the dash board lights were out as well. Safety of other drivers and my family were affected. Did have to have a friend come and get us. And went to get auto next day n still no lights. When got home checked everything agine and fuses were ok the wireing look all intact. Still no lights. Or dash lights.

WHEN I TURN ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL MY HIGH BEAMS COME ON. THIS IS A NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT ALSO CAUSES ROAD RAGE ISSUES

BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. WAS PULLED OVER FOR DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. WIRES IN PASSENGER HEADLIGHT MELTED, DIDNT CHECK DRIVERS SIDE. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 06 ENVOY HEADLIGHTS, BUT I WAS INFORMED THAT IT DOESNT APPLY TO MY VIN. EVEN THOUGH I AM CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO VEHICLE DEFECT

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

CAR STARTED ON FIRE AFTER TURNING IT ON SEEMED TO COME FROM DASHBOARD,SPREAD TO FRONT SEATS IT WAS PARKED AT THE TIME, FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED IT WAS FROM VENTS ,HEATING MOTOR

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.

THE VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY GO FROM 70 MPH TO 30'S (SEMI-TRAILER CLOSING IN FAST) AND I CAN'T DO A THING ABOUT IT!! SERVICE STABILITRACK HAS BEEN A THORN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND PERSISTS TO BE A PROBLEM NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY! FROM EARLY ON, <10,000 MILES AND OVER 10 TIMES SINCE, THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THE PROBLEM, THOUGH INTERMITTENT, STILL EXISTS AND IS A HUGE DANGER TO ME AND MY KIDS BUT I CAN'T JUST GO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR TRADE THIS IN LIKE SOME PEOPLE (INCLUDING THE CAR DEALERSHIP MANAGERS) PORTRAY IS THE BEST OPTION WHEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET GM TO FIX THE CAR OR REPLACE IT WHEN THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. BUT THAT HASN'T BEEN THE ONLY PROBLEM: GEAR BAND BROKE TWICE ON THE TRANSMISSION, HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT BECAUSE OF FAULTY RADIATOR, AND OTHER ISSUES HOWEVER NONE OF THE PROBLEMS REMOTELY COMPARE TO HAVING TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE REPEATED UNEXPLAINED DE-ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO MAKE THE CAR DO ANYTHING EXCEPT PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GIVE IT TEN MINUTES TO STOP HAVING A "TANTRUM" OF SORTS WHILE TRAFFIC WHIZZES BY AND THANKFULLY DIDN'T HIT US (YET). EXTERIOR / AESTHETICS, I LOVE THIS VEHICLE BUT POOR FUNCTION AND EVEN WORSE SERVICE OF PROBLEMS. I'VE REPORTED IT TO CORPORATE BUT THEY DON'T CARE AND DESPITE IT HAVING HAD BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES PRIOR TO END OF WARRANTY, NOW THEY JUST WANT ME TO START PAYING THEM FOR ALL THESE FIXES THAT HAVEN'T FIXED ANYTHING. ONCE I STARTED PAYING FOR FIXES AND THEN STARTED COMPLAINING THAT THEY AREN'T COVERING WHAT THEY'VE NEVER FIXED; THE MANAGER HAD THE NERVE TO SAY HE'D PAY FOR IT OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET IF HE KNEW IT WOULD FIX IT ... HELLO... WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER PAY FOR IT WHEN THE PROBLEM IS NEVER REALLY FIXED.
