2007 GMC Envoy mileage at failure

186 of the 219 complaints on file for the 2007 GMC Envoy give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Component	Median	Middle half	Based on
Fuel/Propulsion System	Median 50,000 miles	Middle half 40,000–65,000 miles	Based on 69 complaints
Electrical System	Median 90,000 miles	Middle half 65,000–110,000 miles	Based on 48 complaints
Exterior Lighting	Median 110,000 miles	Middle half 95,000–145,000 miles	Based on 44 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Driver's Master Power Window Switch may Short

NHTSA #15V599000 · Visibility — Power Window Devices and Controls · NHTSA notice

Reported September 24, 2015 · General Motors LLC

Potentially affected: 9,932 vehicles

Repair completion: 60.73% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Manufacturer campaign 15700 · Owners notified November 2, 2015 · Vehicles built June 22, 2005 – May 14, 2007 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy vehicles, and 2006 GMC Envoy XL and Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT vehicles. Fluid may enter into the driver's door master power window switch module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board, causing window switches to become inoperative. Previously, the affected vehicles may have had their master power window switch module treated with a protective coating, instead of having it replaced.

Safety consequence

The protective coating may not eliminate the risk that the circuit board could short and result in a fire, even while the vehicle is unattended.

Manufacturer remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a new driver's door switch module, free of charge. The recall began on November 2, 2015. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15700.

Headlamps may Fail

NHTSA #15V519000 · Exterior Lighting — Headlights · NHTSA notice

Reported August 14, 2015 · General Motors LLC

Potentially affected: 429,170 vehicles

Repair completion: 51.17% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Manufacturer campaign 14291 · Owners notified May 17, 2016 · Vehicles built January 3, 2006 – May 31, 2006 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy XL, 2006-2008 Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7x vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the headlamp driver module (HDM) may overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate.

Safety consequence

Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Manufacturer remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HDM, free of charge. The recall began on May 17, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14291.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the part number on the door module, and install a new door module if necessary, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. An interim letter was mailed to owners in August 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available.

ODI #11760977

Incident: May 13, 2026 · Filed: August 31, 2026

I purchased a 2007 GMC Envoy from Premier Auto Sales in [XXX] in XXX. I put down $1,250 and I pay $500 a month, $250 bi-weekly. I owe $4767 left on the vehicle in total. A month or two after I bought the vehicle, my car started driving rough and not being able to handle small bumps without rocking violently. I took the vehicle to Jay's Auto Repair in [XXX] where the owner [XXX] placed the vehicle on a rack and lifted it up to identify the issue. Both rear control arms rusted off of the frame and had completely unattached. While handling this, [XXX] called me over to come look at the undercarriage of the vehicle to advise me that the vehicle's frame is completely rusted out, and is not safe for my [XXX] [XXX], or myself to be driving or riding in. [XXX] then advised me to contact the dealership to at least see if they'd be willing to trade the vehicle in, so I could be paying $500 a month for a drivable, reliable and safe vehicle for my family and I. The dealership gave me 4 or 5 options on just as mechanically unsound vehicles with extremely high mileage, but I'd still have to pay a rollover on my current rusted out frame vehicle because he'd only give me $2500 for it in credit to another vehicle. Once I expressed interest in a Dodge Journey Crossroad they had, the dealership owner [XXX] advised I'd have to put more money down to get a car that good, and reliable if I wanted to trade mine in due to the unsafe frame. Since this discussion, I still have the vehicle in my possession, however I have become $500 default in payments due to different repairs needing to be made on the vehicle itself INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Incident: September 1, 2023 · Filed: March 8, 2024

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that the power switch used to adjust the front driver seat had failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that the power switch had been replaced a total of three times within a two-month time frame. Recently, the power switch had failed for a fourth time and as the contact went to replace the fuse, the fuse box was so hot that it burned the contact's right hand and left a blister. The contact did not seek any medical attention for the injury. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V406000 (Electrical System, Visibility) which was linked to the failure. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

ODI #11530202

Incident: June 1, 2023 · Filed: July 3, 2023

Headlights go out on there own and may come back on a few minutes later but right back out again. The vehicle had this as a recall but if it was repaired the repair is not working. The manufacturer is claiming the recall expired, obviously without them making contact to do the repair. Now they think it's good business practice to ignore their problem and put customers lives at risk.

Incident: July 2, 2020 · Filed: July 26, 2020

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) AND THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT EVEN WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH IS PLACED IN THE 'HEADLIGHT' ON POSITION. TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED THAT THIS FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) LOCATED BENEATH THE REAR SEAT. A DIGITAL LOGIC SIGNAL FROM THIS MODULE, BASED ON SENSOR INPUTS FROM THE AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR, PARKING BRAKE AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS, IS PROVIDED TO THE UNDER-HOOD ELECTRONIC RELAY THAT ACTIVATES THE HEADLIGHTS. THERE ARE THREE POSSIBLE SIGNAL OUTPUTS FROM THE BCM...A LOGIC LOW (LIGHTS OFF), A LOGIC HIGH (LOW BEAMS FULL ON) OR A PULSE WIDTH MODULATED SIGNAL TO CREATE THE DIMMER DRL LOW BEAM INTENSITY. IF THE BCM FAILS, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON. THERE IS NO AFFIRMATIVE INPUT TO THE ELECTRONIC RELAY FROM THE LIGHT SWITCH, NOT ROUTED THROUGH THE BCM, TO ACTIVATE THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE BCM FAILS AT NIGHT, THE DRIVER HAS NO LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS. THE ONLY LIGHTS AVAILABLE ARE THE FOG LAMPS OR THE HIGH BEAM LAMPS, BUT ONLY AFTER SETTING THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH TO THE HEADLAMP POSITION. HEADLAMPS ARE A NECESSITY, NOT A OPTIONAL FEATURE. THEIR OPERATION SHOULD NOT RELY ON AN ELECTRONIC SUB-SYSTEM WHOSE FAILURE MODE PREVENTS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FROM WORKING. THIS SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED THE 'EASY' WAY WITHOUT REGARDS TO VEHICLE SAFETY...NAMELY THAT WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ENABLED BY A SIGNAL DIRECTLY FROM THAT SWITCH. WITHOUT AN AFFIRMATIVE ENABLING SIGNAL FROM THE MANUAL DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH, THE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE OPERATOR IS AT THE MERCY OF THE BCM, WHICH COULD FAIL AT NIGHT OR ON THE WEEKEND (WHEN A REPAIR SHOP IS UNAVAILABLE) RENDERING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS OR UN-DRIVEABLE.
