 I bought the car used feb. 2011 about march 2011 sometimes when it is started (no specific start time) the check engine light will be on (not always) and the car will die while driving approximately 25 to 35 miles per hour. this is not a all the time problem, and i cannot find a reason why some days it does this and some days it doesn't. also sometimes the cruise control works and sometimes it doesn't. . also sometimes the wipers stop in mid swipe.

 Tl*the contact owns a 2002 gmc envoy xl. the contact stated that he has been experiencing the same failures as noted in recall # 03v096000 (electrical system: wiring: interior/under dash). he has taken the vehicle to the dealer, but the failure still persists. the contact stated that the seat belts continue to lock and the windshield wipers are malfunctioning. the wipers have been replaced numerous times and the failure causes limited visibility in certain weather conditions. the suspension for the arms of the ball joints was replaced and the vehicle continues to shake, shimmer, and make a loud noise. the vehicle was repaired, but the failures are ongoing. when turning, the steering wheel hesitates and causes the vehicle to jerk uncontrollably. when the windows are down, the interior lights dim due to an electrical short. the tires were changed four times, but continued to fail. the contact stated that the brakes have been replaced repeatedly. the dealer stated that the discs were failing due to adverse weather conditions. the current mileage is 68,000 and failure mileage was 38,000. updated 1/15/09 *cn the catalytic converter, the camshaft, and engine coil was replaced. the check engine light is still on. updated 01/21/09

 I was driving on mechanicsville road at 45 mph as is the speed limit there. the car lurched to a stopped. the emergency message read, major brake failure, go immediately to the dealer. the service manager said he had one such incident with a gentleman earlier, and it was a break in the gasket leaking oil onto the brake sensor soaking it with oil that lead to this failure. it turns out that is what exactly lead to my brake failure. the gasket broke and leaked oil onto the break sensor causing the breaks to fail.
