TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED MORE THAN THREE TIMES. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR WAS PARKED FOR 10 MINUTES WHEN WE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE INTERIOR UPON OPENING THE CAR DOOR WE REALIZED THE DASHBOARD WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT COMPARE TO MINE THE FUEL GAUGE, OIL GAUGES, AIR CONDITIONER ARE ALL MALFUNCTIONING IN MY CAR AND I'M VERY UPSET BECAUSE ALL OF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2005 AND I WILL NEVER BUY A GMC CAR AGAIN FOR THIS REASON IT'S ONE THING TO RECALL REPAIR PARTS THAT WERE BROKEN THAT TO REPAIR MALFUNCTION PARTS. VERY DISAPPOINTED. IN SHORT MY GAUGES DON'T WORK, MY AIR CONDITIONER ONLY WORKS ON ONE SIDE AND NOW MY HEADLIGHTS LOW BEAN DON'T WORK. GMC NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR PANEL CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DROPPED TO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, HOWEVER, THE DETAILS COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER READS 0 OIL PRESSURE GUAGE READS NO PRESSURE, ALL GUAGES READ 0, THEN SPEEDOMETER READS RANDOM SPEEDS.

TAKATA RECALL, EARLY MORNING, MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, SO I FILLED IT AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD TURNING ONTO MY OWN STREET, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED RESULTING IN ME CRASHING INTO A POLE, AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK, SO I FLEW INTO THE STEERING WHEEL, BREAKING MY HAND. THE DAMAGE WAS SO SEVERE IT WAS CONSIDERED TOTALED.

PROBLEM WITH BOTH HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM MALFUNCTION; GOING ON AND OFF. PROBLEM STARTED ON 1/10/16 AND CONTINUES UNTIL TODAY DESPITE REPLACING BOTH HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM FUSES AND RELAY.

LIGHTS GO OFF AND WON'T COME BACK ON FOR 2 HOURS. YOU CAN SMELL SOMETHING BURNING BUT CANNOT FIND WHERE IT IS COMING FROM. I HAVE REPLACED ALL BULBS 3 TIMES. AND NOTHING CHANGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN UNUSUAL ODOR UNDER THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN MAKING A TURN. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC OR AT A STOP LIGHT, MY VEHICLE WILL IDLE ROUGHLY AND SOMETIME STALL. IT DOES THIS IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND PARK. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THERE ARE NO CODES SHOWING A PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 GMC ENVOY MY SPEEDOMETER WILL STOP WORKING AND REGISTER AS 0 MPH EVEN WHEN I AM MOVING. IT ALSO HAS SHOWN ME TRAVELLING AT A MUCH HIGHER SPEED AT TIMES. THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS THAT I'VE FOUND WHILE SEARCHING THE WEB. IT IS UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS TO NOT KNOW THE SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELING. I HAVE STARTED TO USE A GPS SYSTEM WHEN I DRIVE TO SHOW MY SPEED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER DARK AND MY LOW BEAMS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. I COULD ONLY GET MY HIGH BEAMS TO WORK. CURRENTLY ONLY ONE LOW BEAM IS WORKING AND THE OTHER WILL NOT WORK EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULB OR THE FUSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY HAVING A YOUNG CHILD. IT WAS VERY SCARY GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND HAVE YOUR LIGHTS COMPLETELY JUST GO OUT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH 06-07 ENVOYS BUT I WANTED GM TO BE MADE AWARE THAT 2005 MODELS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT FLICKERED AND FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT AND FUSE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS/STOPS.

MY PASSENGER WINDOW WON'T WORK!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED A BURNING ODOR. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE WINDOW AND NOTICED THAT THE POWER SWITCH FROM THE WINDOW WAS HOT. THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED THE POWER SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, WATER FROM THE RAIN ENTERED THE DOOR MODULE RESULTING IN A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V406000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REFUSED TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED A NOTICE THAT WAS ADDRESSED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,400.

WHILE DRIVING MY ENVOY REAR DOOR OPENED UP ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO CLOSE IT. IT WOULDN'T CLOSE, I HAD TO USE A BUNGY CORD TO KEEP IT CLOSED.

WHEN BACKING THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE A LOCAL RESTAURANT, DRIVER STRUCK VEHICLE BEHIND HER. THIS HAPPENED SO QUICKLY THAT IT WAS UNKNOWN TO THE DRIVER HOW THE VEHICLE TRAVELED SO QUICKLY THAT DRIVER HAD NOT EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID STRIKING THE OTHER VEHICLE. DRIVER PLACED VEHICLE IN DRIVE TO PULL OVER TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE. WHEN PLACED INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE DESPITE THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BRICK RESTAURANT. DAMAGE WAS ALSO DONE TO THE INTERIOR BATHROOM OF THE FACILITY AND THE BUSINESS HAD TO CLOSE TO ASSURE SAFETY OF IT'S STAFF/CUSTOMERS. WITNESS STATES THE VEHICLE WAS OBVIOUSLY LURCHING AND APPEARED TO HAVE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THE DRIVER'S FOOT BOUNCED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL ON IMPACT LODGING IT UNDERNEATH THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT NEITHER FRONT AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY. DRIVER DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION HOWEVER DRIVER'S FOOT WAS BADLY BRUISED.

I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHEN I WAS GETTING ONTO A HIGHWAY AND WHEN I LOOKED AT MY SPEEDOMETER IT REGISTERED 120MPH. I WAS JUST MERGING INTO THE LANE WITH TRAFFIC. THEN WHEN I EXITED AND WILE WAITING FOR A STOPLIGHT TO CHANGE TO GREEN, MY CAR REGISTERED 60 WHILE SITTING STILL. THIS HAD HAPPENED THE WINTER BEFORE AND THEN STOPPED. THIS TIME I HAD TO FIX IT. IT NEVER STOPPED REGISTERING MY SPEED INCORRECTLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A CURVY 2 LANE ROAD IN THE COUNTRY AND THE SUN WAS JUST SETTING AND I COULDN'T GET ANY LIGHTS ON MY CAR. MY LIGHTS ARE AUTOMATIC AND I JUST ASSUMED THAT I HAD BUMPED A BUTTON AND ACCIDENTALLY TURNED THEM OFF, SO I STARTED TURNING THE SWITCH TO TURN THEM ON AND IT WASN'T WORKING. I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET SOME LIGHT ON. I THEN HIT A SECTION WHERE TREE LINED CURVED SECTION THAT WAS PRETTY DARK. THERE HAD BEEN NO SHOULDER OR ANYWHERE TO PULL OVER THERE OR FOR SEVERAL MILES. I COULD GET BIGHTS LIGHTS, BUT NO DIM. I ENDED UP DRIVING WITH MY FOG LIGHTS, UNKNOWINGLY AT THE TIME. WE HAD JUST REPLACE THE BULBS 5 MONTHS BEFORE BUT WE TRIED NEW BULBS AND FUSES TO SEE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, IT DIDN'T. I HAVE NOTICED A RECALL ON LIGHTS FOR THE ENVOY YEARS 06-07 FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE THE SAME REASON AND MINE IS AN 05. *TR

LOW BEAM RELAY (HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM) BURNED OUT--SAME THING HAPPENED 4-9-2015. THIS TIME MELTED THE FAN RELAY AND FUSED THE TWO RELAYS TOGETHER. 2006 & 2007 ENVOYS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM. THE HDM OVERHEATED AND CAUSED HEADLAMP AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO FAIL AND NOT ILLUMINATE. GMC PLANS TO CHARGE APPROXIMATELY $800 FOR ENTIRE NEW SET UP BECAUSE BOX IS NOT SOLD WITHOUT ALL RELAYS. WAS TOLD POSSIBLE FURTHER EXPENSE IF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE FOUND. *TR

I HAVE GOODYEAR FORTERA TIRES (P245-65R 17) ON MY VEHICLE, CAR IS PULLING TO THE LEFT & SHAKES, MY MECHANIC CHECKED OUT THE VEHICLE AND SAID YOUR TIRE IS COMING APART. I HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE GOODYEAR TIRES, BUT ON THE NEWS...I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD THEM TO SAY IT WAS THE 18" FORTERA? ANY OTHER REPORTS ON ISSUES WITH OTHER SIZES OF THIS MODEL? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ACCELERATING WHILE ENTERING A FREEWAY, TOOK FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. APPLIED BRAKE BUT VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO TRY AND SLOW DOWN AND AGAIN APPLIED BRAKE. VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPIN TO THE RIGHT AND WE HIT THE GUARD RAIL, HITTING THE PASSENGER REAR BUMPER AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT BUMPER. SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CAR SPUN INTO THE MIDDLE TRAVEL LANE AND BEGAN TO SPIN AROUND. CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO TURN CAR OFF. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED. AN OFF DUTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY STOPPED AND SAID HE NOTICED SMOKE AND THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE BUT NO FIRE OCCURRED. WHEN STATE POLICE ARRIVED THEY ASKED US TO MOVE THE CAR TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. WAS ABLE TO PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND BACKED CAR TO BREAKDOWN LANE. TRIED TO PUT CAR IN DRIVE BUT CAR WOULDN'T GO FORWARD. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ANYMORE. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN GMC ENVOYS, BUT GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE NOR FIX THE ISSUE. SPEEDOMETER CURRENTLY SHOWS I'M DOING 60 MPH WHILE PARKED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE DRIVERS DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW FAST THEY ARE GOING...... *TR

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME. MY NEIGHBOR ALERTED ME THAT MY REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. I WENT OUTSIDE AND SUBSEQUENTLY OBSERVED GLASS EVERYWHERE INSIDE, ON TOP, THE BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR GMC MODEL THERE IS WHOLE BLOG DEDICATED TO IT ON EDMUNDS.COM. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE ODOMETER AND ALL THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS WENT TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED OFTEN OVER THE YEARS. I TOOK IT TO TWO GMC CAR DEALERSHIPS AND THE FIRST ONE SAID IT WAS THE KILL SWITCH INSTALLED BY A BUY HERE PAY HERE DEALERSHIP. THE KILL SWITCH WAS REMOVED AND THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO FLICKER. THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE CAR BEGAN TO TRIBBLE, AGAIN I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. I DID THAT AND BOUGHT A BATTERY BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. THE TOW DRIVER SAID IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BUT THE CAR DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND A SOLUTION. HAVE YOU HAD THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE? NOT TO CONFUSE THE COMPLAINT, I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES. 1. DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND THE INFORMATION PANELS SHUT DOWN (ALL ARE AT ZERO) 2. THE ODOMETER GOES TO ZERO AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS BLACK 3. TRIBBLE UNDERNEATH WHILE DRIVING FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS SHAKING THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE. *TR

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH NOT JUST MY VEHICLE, BUT AFTER A VERY SIMPLE WEB SEARCH A VAST NUMBER OF THESE GMC ENVOY VEHICLES. WHEN TRAVELING NORMALLY THE SPEEDOMETER DECIDES TO EITHER DROP ITS SPEED BY 20-30 MPH OR RAISE IT EVEN AS HIGH AS 120MPH. WHEN TRAVELING IN THE CITY OR HWY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT ZONES VARY RATHER FREQUENTLY AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE DRIVER NATURALLY REACTS TO THE NEEDLE UNAWARE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS ACTUALLY FAULTY. I HAVE THEREFORE BRAKED HARD TO REDUCE MY SPEED WHEN IN FACT I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. THAT CAN RESULT IN AN INSTANT TO A REAR END CRASH BASED ON NORMAL REACTIONS. GM OBVIOUSLY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE ON LINE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND INDEED THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR SIMILAR GM TRUCKS. THEY HOWEVER CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE ENVOY PROBLEM AND LEAVE THE OWNERS "LIVE OR DIE" WITH THE PROBLEM. HOW THIS CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A HIGH PRIORITY SAFETY ISSUE IS A MYSTERY TO ME. EVEN 10 MPH VARIATIONS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MEAN POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS FROM BUMPER HUGGING DRIVERS BEHIND. THIS ISSUE IS MORE COMMON IN THE EXTREME COLD WEATHER AND THUS I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THERE IS A DEFINITE TESTING VALIDATION PROBLEM. *TR

PARKED VEHICLE IN GARAGE AND SHUT OFF....ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT POWER LOCKS HAD FAILED AND I WAS LOCKED IN CAR, POWER WINDOWS WERE ALSO OUT!

I WAS DOING PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY AND WHILE I HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL OFF I HAD NOTICED A FAIRLY LARGE RUSTED HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE FRAME TO THE LEFT OF THE SHOCK TOWER. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT A 2005 VEHICLE HAD FRAME RUST THAT WENT CLEAR THROUGH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A 1981 JEEP THAT I USE AS A FARM VEHICLE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE FRAME RUST THROUGH. I AM SURE THAT BEFORE THIS VEHICLE IS PAID OFF IT WILL HAVE A BROKEN FRAME SOON. I JUST CHECKED THE HOLE YESTERDAY AND IT IS GETTING LARGER. VERY POOR METAL USED IN THESE FRAMES. NOT SATISFIED. A FRAME OUGHT TO LAST LONGER THAN THAT. *TR

CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT AT THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT COVERING THE REPAIRS AND THAT IT IS THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE SENSOR SYSTEM.

ON SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2011, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT THAT WAS A HEAD ON CRASH. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AND I SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES. ON SITE OF THE ACCIDENT MY BACK WAS HURTING SOME BUT DID NOT GO TO HOSPITAL UNTIL LATER THAT EVENING, AFTER THE ADRENALIN AND THE SHOCK WORE OFF. I NOW HAVE SEVER BACK PROBLEMS WITH A LOT OF PAIN AND WAS DECLARED DISABLED IN 2012. AT THE TIME OF DOING RESEARCH I WAS TOLD BY ON-STAR, WHICH NEVER CAME ON, THAT IF MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY THEY WOULDN'T COME ON.. BUT, THE FRAME WAS BENT SO BAD THAT THEY TOTALED THE VEHICLE, WITH A LOT OF OTHER DAMAGE. THE WHOLE FRONT WAS DAMAGED, THE BUMPER WAS DESTROYED ALONG WITH DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR.

THE SUV HAS SHUT OFF ON ME THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 2 1/2 YRS (THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT. ) EACH TIME I WAS JUST DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND ALL LIGHTS, ETC JUST TURNED OFF. I AM CONCERNED WONDERING IF PERHAPS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 ENVOY IGNITION SWITCH AS WELL? NO, IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SERVICING OF THE SUV. I TAKE CARE OF THE VEHICLE AND I DON'T DRIVE 200 MILES A MONTH. I GUESS I AM LUCKY THAT EACH TIME I WAS NOT GONG FAST AND THE SUV JUST SLOWED DOWN AND CAME TO A STOP, ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HOWEVER THE 2ND TIME, I HAD 2 LITTLE GIRLS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND IT CONCERNED ME A GREAT DEAL.EACH TIME THE SUV STARTED BACK UP AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER ? WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY ETC. IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION, PLEASE LETS FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. I WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY KNOW ABOUT THE SHUT OFF PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THE CAR. JUST IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. *TR
