NHTSA Complaint #10116462 — 2002 GMC ENVOY

AFTER NUMEROUS RECALLS ON MY 2002 ENVOY I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE DASH LIT UP, HORN, RADIO, ALARM ALL WORKED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I COULD MOVE GEAR SHIFT FROM P TO N AND IT STILL WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS TOLD GMC ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DOESNT APPLY IF YOU HAVE AAA. DEALER SAID (ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER CODES) THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FAULTY INGITION SWITCH. THEY REPLACED IT BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW THE DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO COMUPTER CODES THIS TIME SO THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 10 DAYS NOW. EVERY TIME THE DEALER TURNS THE KEY IT STARTS UP WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC ON A DAILY BASIS TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY PLAN ON DOING. I BOUGHT IT NEW, AND IT ONLY HAS 18,400 MILES ON IT. I'M SUPPOSED TO HEAR FROM GMC TODAY ON WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT A YEAR AND AFTER I RESTARTED IT, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF A LOWER GEAR AND THE ENGINE WAS VERY LOUD. I HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS MACHINED AT 12000 MILES BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE PULSING HARD AND THE ROTORS WERE PITTED. SO MUCH FOR BUYING A NEW VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE DEPENDABLE! I'M MAKING PAYMENTS FOR A VEHICLE THAT I DONT HAVE! *AK
