Consumer Description

ON JULY 28, 2014 I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ONLY GOING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS THE MAIN STREET AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING SPOT. I TRIED RESTARTING MY ENVOY WITH NO LUCK SO I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD GONE BAD. I HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER OR GOING DOWN A STEEP MOUNTAIN BECAUSE WHERE I LIVE I AM SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS. I AM NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH A SIMILAR VEHICLE. I DO KNOW THAT OTHER GM CARS AND VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS SAME SITUATION BUT WAS TOLD THAT MINE IS NOT UNDER A RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR
