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.

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.
