NHTSA Complaint #10465076 — 2003 GMC ENVOY

WHILE DRIVING, SEVERAL INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. (ABS, SEATBELT, BATTERY PRIMARILY) THESE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN GO OFF, ONE BY ONE. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THE BATTERY LIFE METER DROPPED TO ZERO. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RE-START. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, THE BATTERY ITSELF TESTED THAT IT WAS GOOD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, ANYWAY, HOPING IT SOLVED THE ISSUES, BUT THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUE TO TURN ON WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A DAY OR SO, THEY TURN OFF AND THEN DAYS LATER WILL COME ON AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES BY TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND NEITHER COULD FIND A SOLUTION OUTSIDE OF REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND OTHER GMC MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THE ENVOY BEEN INCLUDED? IT'S OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AS WELL. (ALTHOUGH, OTHER THAN THE AIRBAG RECALL, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICES ABOUT ANY OTHER RECALLS REGARDING MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ISSUES). *TR
