GM recalled the vehicle for this windshield wiper problem. I took the car in and supposedly got it fixed. As soon as my warranty expired the windshield wipers shorted out the whole unit in the steering column and it cost me $660.00. GM wouldn't stand by the problem. So I'm going tofile a complaint wit the Better Business Bureau like you did, instead of taking them to court. This vehicle should be designated a lemon.
Needless to say, but I will repeat it here, GM has seen the last of my business!
Are all of your instruments out? Did you call the dealership back to say it was doing it again? Thank you,

I had similar problems on my 2005 Envoy as you had described. While I was driving one day, all lights in the instrument panel suddenly lit up. I pulled the car to the side, stopped the engine and tried to start it a few minutes later. At first there was not even a clicking sound, like the battery was totally dead. After a few tries, the starter cranked but the engine wouldn't start. A few more attempts later, handles in the instrument meters swung widely but the engine still wouldn't started. The car was towed to a repair shop. After several days, the mechanic told me the problem was a short in the switch in the steering wheel column and he had replaced it. The car was fine since.
Our Envoy is the Denali version with the DVD and Nav, and since the DVD player is broken (that's a whole other story), I'm going to disconnect the power to the DVD Player via the fuse or directly when I get it back, and I'm going to see if the DVD (technically an "after-market" item) is causing the issue.
I'll keep you posted, but would love any feedback from the original poster if they managed to resolve the issue.
I'm now fully repaired for under $150, and I hope you guys have the same luck.
For the last couple of weeks, at random times during the night (or whenever the car is sitting idly parked) my rear brake lights and front parking lights come on for 5 minutes or so and then by the time I check again a few minutes later they're turned back off.
This has caused me to have to jumpstart my vehicle several times now over the last few days.
I've tried several different things as far as adjusting the ambient light settings for when I use my remote door lock and I've also tried simply using my key to lock my car when parking it. Nothing seems to be working.
I'm dreading taking it into GMC after reading some of the horror stories on here about how difficult it seems to nail down what sort of electrical problem may be at play here.
Has anyone else heard of anything like this problem?
Have you spoke with a GM Dealer?

I would like to set up a case with GM Customer Assistance. To get the case set up, I will need the VIN, current mileage, contact information including a number and the involved dealership sent to me in an email. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

I have had electrical issues, air conditioning issues, everything you could imagine and now today, ignition cylinder for $300 !!!! My key wouldnt turn to start the car!!! not to mention my entire instrument cluster doesnt work.. I have no idea how fast I am going or what my rpm's are at or if my water is too hot cause none of the gauges work and they want $700 for that to be fixed !!!! I truly hate all the issues with this truck!!!!
Could you please email me your VIN? I would like to look further into your situation.
