shoty,
I am sorry your father is experiencing this issue with his Envoy vehicle. I have researched my resources, however, at this time there are currently no known issues as you’ve described.
I encourage you to have the vehicle inspected by a certified technician. They will be able to offer an official diagnosis after inspecting the vehicle.
Please keep us posted.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
