While operating the 2008 GMC envoy on an interstate I observed what appeared to be a lack of light when the low beam headlights were turned on. I drove to a rest area and confirmed that the low beam headlights were inoperative. The bulbs were removed and both bulb filaments appeared intact. Fuses, breakers and relays were checked for secure seating. The high beam headlights were operative and all other lights functioned. I am aware of documentation that covers the issue but only up to the 2007 model year. There are other complaints on file describing similar issues. The unsafe condition that resulted was the absence of forward lighting while operating a motor vehicle during times that lighting should be used. It is my belief that a solid state relay, delco part number 15016745, in the #4

"takata recall" when I first start the car and begin to accelerate the traction control system activates causing lose of power - very dangerous when pulling out into traffic. I have to disengage the system on the shift handle to prevent this from happening. I am also experiencing the ABS problem of activation when coming to a stop in all conditions. It is already a recall for GMC vehicles up to 2004 but obviously not corrected. The traction control system activates every time after first starting the car. The ABS system is sporatic. No warning that it is about to happen. These systems fail daily without exception.

I put the car in park and shut the vehicle off and pulled the key out of the ignition. The car remained running with the key out and in order to shut it off we had to pop the hood and pull out a relay. We then tried restarting the car and it started with the key turned backwards. It wasn't driveable at this time because it was spitting and sputtering. We replaced the ignition switch and it was working for a few days and now its back to doing the same thing.
