NHTSA Complaint #10425155 — 2003 GMC ENVOY XL

I PURCHASED MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL IN 2008 FROM A NY DEALER WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT, THE CAR DIDN'T REGISTER ANY ACCIDENTS WITH CARFAX. THE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR MY BATTERY WENT DEAD AND I WAS STRANDED AT 7AM WITH MY KIDS. THE DEALER PAID FOR THE TOW AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. A YEAR LATER WHILE DRIVING TO MY SONS BASKETBALL GAME AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER AND USED MY HAZARDS, MY SON INSPECTED THE LIGHTS AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING WAS BURNING..THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WIRE WAS BURNT BADLY. WE REPLACED THE LIGHT AND THE WIRING. THE NEXT DAY NOT ONLY DID THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BUT I COULDN'T PUT MY WINDOW UP! THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW PANEL DID NOT WORK, BUT THE OTHER WINDOWS WORKED FINE. I PAID $400 TO HAVE THE PANEL REPLACED. (NOW THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT PANEL IS NOT WORKING ON THE DRIVER SIDE) THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 3 YEARS! WHEN EVER I WOULD USE THE WINDOW, OR THE HEAT VENT, OR THE CHARGER INLETS IN MY CAR THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER DIM. MY MECHANIC DID A AMPS CHECK WHILE MY PHONE WAS PLUGGED IN,CAR WAS RUNNING,RADIO ON, AND HEATER ON AND STATED THE AMPS WERE FINE, UNTIL I HIT THE WINDOW BUTTON, THEN THE AMPS WENT WAY DOWN. COST TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR $350.00, THAT WAS IN 2010, SO FAR IN 2011 I HAVE AWOKEN 3 MORNINGS IN A ROW TO A DEAD CAR. I SAT IN THE CAR WITH CAR OFF, DOORS LOCKED ONE NIGHT TO SEE WHAT GOES ON OVER NIGHT..WELL THE ALARM SENSOR BUTTON DIDN'T STOP BLINKING RED, THE SEAT ADJUSTMENTS KEPT MOVING EVERY 4 MINS, THE REARVIEW MIRRORS WERE MOVING NON STOP, AND THE HORRIBLE BEEPING SOUND INSIDE THE CAR WAS NON STOP! THE RADIO DASH DIDN'T SHUT OFF EITHER, IT WAS PIPING HOT AFTER A HALF HOUR OF SITTING. *TR
