Car was bought in 2004. Was taken to the dealer several times to have airbag light fix but it was never resolved it was said to be fine. No hazard. Never involved in a car crash. Cars turns on and it prompt you to check airbags. Today I was watching the news and someone mentioned this site. I wanted to see it there has been a recall

My airbag light remains on, indicating that there is a problem. The dealer claims that the bag will either not deploy, or suddenly deploy for no reason unless I replace it. I was told this was not part of the recalls...but it is clearly a safety issue. I don't feel that I should pay for the replacement.

I got a defected passenger airbag code from mechanic. I just want to make sure this is not an issue with the recall on airbags up to 2003 on my vehicle. This code comes up regularly for my vehicle.

I was in accident on saturday february 4, 2012 in my 2004 envoy xuv. I was traveling approx. 40 MPH when another car pulled in front of me and within 1 second I t-boned the side of their car. My airbags did not deploy. Fortunately all I ended up with was minor bruses from the steering wheel and the seatbelt strap. This was to be the best engineered SUV gmc had ever made and I was shocked the airbags did not deploy.

Rear air bags leak down and then at random pump back up. Took it moore buick for repair and, once again, they replaced an expensive part and this a.m. The air bags had leaked down again. This is the last vehicle I will buy from moore buick and/or gmc.

My fiance was driving my 2004 gmc envoy SUV. While driving reported to be approximately 40 MPH; the car in front of her slammed on her brakes, she attempted to brake, swerved to the right to avoid the car in front of her, crashing into a utility pole. She was wearing her seat belt. During this time neither the driver or passenger side airbag deployed. She was taken by ambulance treated for scrapes & bruises, pain, minor injuries, major injuries ruled out by x-rays & ct scans, then released. I understand the theory " if a person is able to walk away from the crash the vehicle did it's job." my concern was not much of a concern until the responding emt's, officers, and mechanic at the place where the car is currently stored all voiced concerns regarding the fact no airbag deployed in this accident. I also became concerned after seeing the damage done to the vehicle. We are not officially sure of the status of the car at this time as we are still waiting to hear from the adjuster. However, the mechanic & responding officer believe it is totaled. The entire front window shattered, passenger side door is ripped off hanging on a thread, the entire front end/grill ripped off, both headlights crushed, the passenger side headlight is no longer there, the passenger side front tire entirely missing along with anything holding it in place, the glove compartment is almost touching the front passenger seat. The passenger seat was pushed back toward the back seat of the car as well. My fiance was alone in the vehicle, the concern is if she hadn't been, what would have happened to a passenger...clear speculation , but the airbag may have been the only saving grace a passenger would have had. We have contacted the dealership, gm, and consumer affairs, and now the federal safety agency with this concern. Thank you for taking the time to review this report.
