AFTER SIX MONTHS HAVING PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE FROM A LOCAL DEALER, I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, NOR WERE THE POWER WINDOW DEVICES, CONTROLS, POWER LOCKS AND ALSO THE VISIBILITY OF DRIVER'S REAR WINDOW. I NOTICED THAT THE DOOR WOULD OVERHEAT AND SOMETIMES I CAN SMELL AN ODOR SIMILAR TO WHEN SOMETHING IS BURNING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND FINDING THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIFFICULT. ON JUNE 2013, I READ ON THE MSN WEBSITE THAT THE GMC ENVOYS FOR 2006 AND 2007 WERE BEING RECALLED (RECALL #13V248000) IN REGARDS TO DRIVER'S MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH. SINCE I AM HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, WITH MY 2003 ENVOY, I CALLED GMC AND EXPLAINED TO HER THAT I AM HAVING THAT SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2003 ENVOY. SHE INDICATED THAT GMC WOULD PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE LABOR EVEN THOUGH MY...

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE'S WINDSHIELD WIPERS.*MR THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT EVERYTIME THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE USED, THEY WOULD BOUNCE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD SO MUCH THAT THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SEE AND IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE USED, THE CONSUMER HAD TO KEEP TURNING THEM ON AND OFF TO SEE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST FOUR TIMES TO HAVE THE WIPERS ADJUSTED AND REPLACED. THE LAST TIME HOWEVER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A BOW IN THE WINDSHIELD AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER HAVING THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED, THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS.

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE 4WD/A4WD LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN 4WD AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN...
