2006 GMC ENVOY XL Visibility Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER WINDOWS AND POWER LOCKS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY OPERATE WHEN THE SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF MODE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT THE WINDOW SWITCH WAS BURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V404000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, A BURN SMELL EMINITTING FROM DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT VEHICLE TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR REPAIR. THEY DIAGNOSED THE SMELL AND WINDOW FAILURE TO THE DRIVER SIDE MASTER SWITCH. THE REPAIR SHOP USED ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PART. THIS MONTH AGAIN, MY SWITCH DOES NOT WORK AND WINDOWS CURRENTLY ARE NOT WORKING. FRUSTRATING BECAUSE GMC ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY. I STILL HAVE THE OLD SWITCH AND RECEIPT AND SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE LABOR AND REPLACEMENT PART COST. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING I TURNED ON MY LEFT BLINKER TO TURN. THE WIPER CAME ON AND IT SPRAYED WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID. I PUT IT BACK INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND THEY KEPT SPRAYING AND WOULD NOT STOP. I PULLED OVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. THE WIPERS CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY AND CONTINUED TO SPRAY WIND WASHER FLUID. THEN MY SPEAKERS STARTED TO PLAY A DISTORTED SOUND. I TURNED OFF VEHICLE AGAIN ABOUT 4 MORE TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE WIPER BLADES AND SPRAY CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO STAY PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THEN THEY STOPPED. OR SO I THOUGHT, AS I STARTED TO DRIVE AND HIT 20MPH THE WIPER BLADES CAME ON AND IT STARTED SPRAYING AGAIN TILL IT FINISHED THE ENTIRE GALLON OF WIND WASHER FLUID. AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE WAY THE WIPER BLADES KEPT ON CLEANING WITH NO LIQUID. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND THE WIPER BLADES CONTINUED FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS THEN STOPPED. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND I AM WONDERING WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP FROM HERE? *JS

BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR HAS FAILED TWICE IN THREE MONTHS. THE SECOND TIME THE 7-WIRE HARNESS FROM THE CONTROLS THAT SELECTS MOTOR SPEED HAD SLIGHTLY MELTED AROUND THE COMMON WIRE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE TO BE A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY AND MY DAUGHTER HAD GONE OUT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE BACK. SHE CLOSED THE HATCH AND WAS STANDING THERE TALKING TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE BACK EXPLODED OUT! IT WAS HORRIFYING. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF! MY DAUGHTER WAS SHATTERED WITH GLASS BUT FORTUNATELY WAS NOT INJURED. *TR

BACK WINDOW ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY EXPLODED WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED. GLASS WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY DAMAGED IN ANY WAY. HINGES HAD JUST THE DAY BEFORE BEGUN MAKING A NOISE WHEN TAILGATE WAS OPENED AND CLOSED. MY HUSBAND'S HAND WAS CUT. GLASS FLEW 20 FT. OUT OF GARAGE WHERE CAR WAS PARKED. NOISE OF EXPLOSION WAS LIKE A LIGHTENING STRIKE OR GUNSHOT. *TR
