NHTSA Complaint #10859938 — 2006 GMC ENVOY

FOR MORE THAN A MONTH MY TRUCK HAS CUT OFF COMPLETELY AS I BEGIN TO BREAK WHEN I I AM COMING TO A STOP OR WHEN I AM MAKING A TURN INTO A PARKING LOT OR AT A CORNER. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW DURING ONE TRIP. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION BUT ONCE I TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART IT, IT CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP. I WAS TOLD, BASED ON MY DESCRIPTION THAT IT COULD BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN THE TURNDOWN SOLENOID SWITCH OR SENSOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I NEED MY VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM ALWAYS OCCURS WHEN I AM ON A CITY STREET. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE WHEN I AM IN PERPETUAL MOTION.THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO LEAVE IT FOR MORE THAN A DAY AT A SHOP, NOR DO I THINK I SHOULD SHOULDER ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYING FOR REPAIRS IF IT IS A DEFECT INHERENT IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF THERE IS ANY RECOURSE I CAN TAKE AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER SO I CAN HAVE THESE NEEDED REPAIRS DONE IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE REPLACED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO THINKING THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THAT WAS A $250 JOB WITH PARTS AND LABOR.
