2006 GMC Envoy Lighting Problems

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND DAYLIGHT DRIVING LIGHTS SHUT DOWN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. LIGHTS WILL COME ON AFTER ENGINE COOLS DOWN BUT NOT BEFORE. CANNOT DRIVE AFTER DARK. HIGH BEAMS CONTINUE TO OPERATE.

I WAS DRIVING TO CHURCH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING AND DARK SUDDENLY, MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. I STOPPED AND TURN THE HIGH BEAM ON AND WHEN I TURN THE HIGH BEAM OFF AFTER 2 OR 3 MINUTES THE LOW BEAM CAME BACK ON. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON MY WAY FROM WORK, DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND THEY JUST WENT OFF. I PULL OVER AND TURN THE HIGH BEAM ON AND OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEY CAME BACK ON. REALLY AFRAID NOW TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I USED THIS VEHICLE FOR TRAVELING ON VACATIONS, NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS UNTIL NOW.

The contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the headlights would fail not allowing them to see anything while driving. The contact stated that the headlights would only engage using the high beams. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the headlight driver module needing to be replaced. The contact replaced the headlights but the failure still occurred. The contact was relating the failure to the NHTSA campaign number: 15V519000 (Exterior lighting). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

MY 2006 ENVOY DENALI'S LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE CUTTING OUT ON ME AT NIGHT. I'VE READ SEVERAL CASES ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS SITUATION MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AT NIGHT UNEXPECTANY.

THE CAR WAS ON A RECALL BACK IN 2016. LETTER TOLD ME TO WAIT BECAUSE THE PART WAS BEING MADE AND WHEN IT BECAME AVAILABLE I WOULD BE NOTIFIED TO TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALER TO HAVE IT INSTALLED FREE OF CHARGE. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD AND DASH LIGHTS WOULD DIM, GET BRIGHT OR GO OFF COMPLETELY JUST PRIOR TO THE PART BECOMING AVAILABLE. I TOOK IT IN ON JAN 12, 2017 TO HAVE THE RECALLED PART REPLACED. ON DEC 16, 2017 I HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC ($90.00). I CALLED GMC IN JAN 2018 AND TALKED WITH A SERVICE REPRESENATIVE AND HE REFUSED TO HELP ME IN ANY WAY. TOLD ME MY CAR IS 12 YEARS OLD (71,807 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY) AND I WAS ON MY OWN. EVEN ME EXPLAINING TO HIM THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DOING THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE THE HDM MODULE WAS REPLACED ON THE RECALL. THAT WENT IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER. HE BASICALLY TOLD ME TO HAVE A GOOD REST OF THE DAY. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM AND DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT, SO I AM STRANDED IN DOING EVENING GATHERINGS OR FESTIVITIES WITH FAMILY OR FRIENDS. IT WOULDN'T BE UNUSUAL FOR THE PART THEY REPLACED TO BECOME FAULTY SINCE THEY JUST HAD IT MADE FOR THE RECALL. THOUGH HE REALLY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT MY ISSUE AT ALL. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND HEADLIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V519000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER THE RECALL IN MAY OF 2016. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

LAST NIGHT I NOTICED AT A STOP LIGHT THAT I DID NOT HAVE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON. VERY DISCONCERTING. AFTER I MADE MY TURN TO EXIT THE BUSY STREET, THE HEADLIGHTS DID COME BACK ON. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM. IN FACT, MANY CARS WERE SELECTIVELY RECALLED ON THIS ISSUE. MINE WAS NOT. GRANTED, MY CAR IS 11 YEARS OLD WITH 157,000 MILES, I STILL BELIEVE GM AT SOME POINT SHOULD HAVE WARNED ME OF THIS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE. IT APPEARS I CAN EASILY FIX IT MYSELF WITH A $27 "MODULE" FROM AUTOZONE. NO ISSUES ON THE REPAIR AND PART. I JUST THINK HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE OF GM TO NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUE. SHAME ON GM.

THE VEHICLE SHOWS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS ON EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER BEING FILLED UP. ALSO THE ENGINE WILL DIE AT RANDOMS TIMES DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO THE HEAD LAMPS FAIL AT RANDOM TIMES.

TAKATA RECALL LOSS OF LOW BEAMS. HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF. LOSS OF LOW BEAMS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. HEADLIGHTS STAYED ON WHILE PARKED WITH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE BEGAN FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. LOW BEAMS FAILED ON AN UNLIGHTED INTERURBAN HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. SCARY! THEY STAYED OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND THEN RETURNED TO OPERATION. DURING THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING, TRYING TO VACATE THE HIGHWAY, USING HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LAMPS. DTL FAILURE NOTICED WHEN ENTERING GARAGE. HEADLIGHT DELAY ALSO FAILS AT THESE TIMES. LOSING LIGHTS AT 45 MPH ON A DARKENED ROAD IS VERY UNSAFE. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS PROBLEM MAY BE A LIGHT RELAY THAT IS KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUES.

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. WHILE NAVIGATING AND IN MOTION, LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS FAIL TO ILLUMINATE. THIS ISSUE SELF-CORRECTS WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION. THE PERIOD FOR SELF-CORRECTION SEEMS TO BE RANDOM. HIGH-BEAMS HEADLAMPS, MARKER LAMPS, TURN SIGNSALS OR FOG LAMPS ARE NOT AFFECTED. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS REGARDLESS OF HIGHWAY OR STREET NAVIGATION.
