I was in an accident and hit on broadside on the passenger side and driver front corner. The air bags did not go off. They say service soon. The seat belt hurt me as well. It did not lock. I was injured with a torn labrum, back and neck injuries. Head too. I was moving and I was hit on the drivers side and then pushed into another car. I was on a city street. 14 mile near mount 7-22

The steering is a little sporadic at speeds 70 or higher or chachi.there is a lot of play in the steering mechanism you have to hold it with both hands to try to get some type of correction in the in the stability of the vehicle. I can't upload photographs or something I I don't know anything about.

I was on my way home on hwy/us 151 going approx. 55-60 MPH (65 MPH zone) when I hit a deer which caused my vehicle to lose control and slammed into the start of a guardrail at no less than 45 MPH bringing my 2002 gmc envoy to a complete stop, at most 2-3 feet from initial impact to be exact. The airbags did not deploy. Front dash nor side impact bags, nothing. N I hit hard. Luckily I wasn't seriously injured only minor bruising and quite sore from whiplash and being thrown into the door an a bit shaken n luckily had no passengers. As for my envoy, it is a total loss and unfortunately I only had liability insurance so now I'm screwed without a vehicle and after all other problems I've faced with my gmc envoy I will never own a gm again. Take gm products to the dump.

I and my passenger were in an accident about a year ago, a very hard front end impact, and none of the air bags deployed. We were both transported to the er by ambulance, I hit the steering wheel hard so hard that it bent inwards and broke my nose also had a concussion. He was in the front passenger seat and hit the front dash, where the air bag should have deployed, he broke his front teeth and also had a concussion. I've also had many of the same issues that every other 02 or 03 envoy has yet my VIN pulls no recalls. This needs to be investigated!!! Thanks.

My son (17) was coming home and crashed into a light pole, we don't know what caused him to crash no alcohol or drugs were involved and the airbags did not deploy...he was trapped in the car and died from blunt force trauma to the head.

The airbag light is on. Sometimes it will go off, but the light is on most of the time on the instrument panel. I spoke to the service department at our local dealer and they did not care and said we would have to bring it in another time to hook it up to their big machine. I want this issue resolved. I have had this vehicle serviced for recalls (wiper motor & cluster gauges). My wife drives this vehicle and I would like to make sure it is safe for her to continue driving it with this light on and no danger of the airbag deploying.

My wife and I were headed southbound on 685 in round rock, tx in our 2002 gmc envoy at approx. 9:35 pm when a driver in a mini van ran a red light at the intersection of 685 and gattis school rd. Our vehicle struck them in the rear passenger quadrant. The speed limit is 60 MPH at this intersection and we did not have time to brake. Even though the front of our vehicle was crushed into the engine compartment, no airbags deployed. My wife, who is in the habit of wearing her seatbelt (although we still cannot confirm one way or the other) struck the rear view mirror with her head with enough force to break a hole in the windshield where it was attached and break the windshield around it. She was transported to the hospital with a concussion and had for a time gone incoherent and unresponsive with short term memory loss. She has had daily headaches since with some extremely severe. She also had multiple severe contusions down her left side, particularly in her upper left thigh with a large hemotoma that is still giving her problems. Our vehicle was subsequently totaled by the insurance companies. We have contacted gm about the failure of the airbags to deploy and they are currently investigating and sent an investigator to download the computer information last week. There is a police report that was filed by the texas dps investigating officer.
