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.

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. *TR
