NHTSA Complaint #10604859 — 2003 GMC ENVOY XL

MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS AND WINDOW CONTROLS HAVE CEASED TO OPERATE. EVIDENTLY FLUID MAY ENTER THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, CAUSING CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE DOOR MODULE WHICH CAUSED THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SHORT MAY ALSO CAUSE OVERHEATING, WHICH COULD MELT COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR MODULE, PRODUCING AN ODOR, SMOKE, OR A FIRE. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE IS A RECALL FROM GM AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, IF IT IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, A PROTECTIVE COATING WILL BE APPLIED. IF THE MODULE IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, IT WILL BE REPLACED. THE GM RECALL NUMBER IS 12180. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO MY AUTOMOBILE...MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. *TR
