Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 ENVOY - 7 MONTHS AFTER OWNING IT - WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK ALL THE SUDDEN THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH/RADIO/MIRROR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF. "LIKE A COP CAR" TO THE POINT WE PRESSED ON STAR-AFRAID THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL ON BUSY/DARK FREEWAY. WHEN I CALLED A DEALER THEY SAID OH "THAT'S NORMAL" YOU HAD TO MUCH RUNNING AND NEW CARS CAN NOT HANDLE "HEATER/RADIO ETC. "ITS NO BIG DEAL" > I CALLED ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAID NO-THIS IS A PROBLEM BRING THE CAR IN. ENDS UP THERE WAS A BULLETIN FOR THIS AND THE CHIP HAD TO BE UPDATED. VERY WRONG FOR THE ONE DEALER TO SAY NO BIG DEAL-WHEN THEY KNOW A UPDATE WAS OUT. *NM
