Ive notice my front headlights have been getting worse for me to see at night. I don't see whats in front of me while driving at the last minute, anytime at night while driving I don't see turns, objects and other things till the last second. I haven't had a accident due to poor visibility.I feel GMC is liable for this problem, I feel the GMC Envoy was made a lemon and the whole SUV should of been recalled because us Envoy owners are stil having the same problem certain Envoy only had as GMC claims only Envoy with this VIN number or the year it was manufacturer in or state.all 2002 GMC Envoy XL 4X4 need to be reinvestigate again under the lemon law act

When driving the vehicle all dash lights and gauges just stop working. They will come back on but this is a safety concern while driving on the highway. Also my headlights go on and off I have changed out the bulbs thinking that was the issue and no its not. On my way to work this morning at 530am they stopped and have not turned back on causing me to pull over and now missing work to figure out the problem. This has been an ongoing issue since the beginning of June and the problem seems it's getting worse. I can't drive 70 mph on a highway and have my headlights just stop working. I also smell gasoline inside my vehicle frequently.

As I was driving down interstate at 70-75mph, the headlights, dash lights, all the lighting just shut off! I had no idea what to do. I was on one of the most dangerous interstates, known for fatal accidents... and I'm driving in the dark without lights! I quickly moved to side of road and shut it off in case of faulty wiring/fire hazard. After approx. A five minute phone call, I started car, lights worked. Started driving again, approx. 10 minutes down road, lights shut off again. I hope this problem is resolved soon! this is dangerous and can kill people!

The low beam headlights go out with no warning. The high beams will work. This has become a problem everytime the vehicle is driven at night.

General quality failure. Just a few of the problems 1. all of the recall notices 2. front end bushings 3. rear end bushing 4. air conditioning replacement 5. 4 wheel drive engagement. 6. door steps fall off 7. love the vehicle except that the dealer shop forman gets to drive it more than I do. Had a 1999 Blazer prior to this and it had quality issues also. Definitely go Honda or Toyota next time.
