The accident happened on 2-15-2013 on pennsylvania avenue se during rush hour the other car did not yield to ongoing traffic on pennsylvania avenue and dodged out from a side street and hit my vehicle on the front side and my son who is 13 head hit the dashboard and my daughers dog flew from the back seat up to the front. The other vehicle airbag did deploy but mines did not.

Due to the check engine light constantly coming on I was told that I needed a new gas cap. It was stated if the cap is not on properly it affects the emission conrols. I have replaced the gas cap several times nothing has changed engine light goes on and off. There still has not been accurate justification for this matter. Vehicle has faulty / leaking air bags on the rear suspension. Upon research this has been a problem on GMC vehicles from 1994 ~ 2006. Why are there no recalls? GMC Envoy vehicle are sitting very low during freezing tempatures. Upon starting the vehicle it will rasie back up and level itself but it should not drop down low period. Websites are flooded with complaints. I have contacted GMC regarding all these issues and nothing has been done. I was told there were no recalls regarding these matters which I don't understand. I have viewed so many complaints on several websites regarding these same issues. Exterior lights~ lamps have faulty sockets due to moisture getting inside the lamps / back up lamps. Bulbs burning out continuously. Unfortunately when you take your vehicle to a frequent dealer, many times they'll step outside to check your vehicle quickly without putting you in the system if they feel no service is required. I believe this may be why these complaints are not being addressed/ reported / or recorded. It is apparent there are serious problems with these vehicles. Something needs to be done, and we should not have to deal with repeat manufacturer defects/hazards year after year. It is not fair to us (the customer). They can continually contact you to trade in your vehicle or buy it, but they can't contact you regarding defects on the vehicle. I was told they only notify the original owner of recalls. Again they'll contact you regarding marketing and advertising. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

I have owned a GMC all my adult life. This Envoy has been nothing but problems . . . . Now the gauges seem to be all screwed up and after reading post from online. . I will need to put more time and more money into this SUV. Nothing like driving late at night worried about what's happening now. I go from sitting at a red light and my car losing pressure and turning off, to now every time I get into it and leave my house I hear the door bell and all my panels symbols flash and shows no gas to no battery life. . I am not pleased and will never purchase a gm again. . So sad.

The speed control needle was stuck between 60-120mph on 05-05-2012. Now 05-09-2012 the speed control needle is stuck at 120mph and does not return to 0mph. The vehicle has only 65,000 miles and has been to the dealership several times for panel control problems (air bag) which is still not fixed extended warranty is now expired.

I have looked into this issue and there are 1,000's of people with the same issue I have. My airbags go low over night and under 32 degrees don't pump up at all. I work 26 miles away and travel to work riding on my frame. My body is jarred and my truck is getting beaten because the air ride system is not working properly. You can hear the pump working and I've been told that it's a valve needed to be replaced. This issue is not from age. Others have had this problem as early as 40k.

On 11/17/08 while at a complete stop, after turning wheels sharply to the right to go around a road equipment vehicle in the parking lot, upon removing foot from brake, the denali lunged forward enough to bump the tire of the equipment vehicle and then it accelerated as if the cruise control was activated. There were no brakes when an effort was made to stop the vehicle. Steering of vehicle was hard due to power steering failure . Vehicle jumped upon a curb, driver forcefully turned steering wheel to avoid hitting a brick building as acceleration was still ongoing. Vehicle crashed through a steel garage door and continued until it crashed into a retaining column at which time the motor was turned off. The impact of the collision could be felt up to the second floor of the building. The driver was wearing a seat belt. The onstar services did not initiate response to driver despite the fact that the front bumper of the vehicle was no longer attached to the vehicle, nor did the driver airbag deploy upon impact.

I totaled my 2004 GMC Envoy on black ice, I hit my neighbor pretty much head on. My air bag did not go off nor did my seat belt hold my in place, I reported this accident and dysfunction to gm and after their investigation they said the vehicle functioned properly. I don't understand how this could be, we bought the Envoy new the air bag should have deployed as well as the seat belt should have locked me in place, as it was I hit the wind shield, had swelling in my brain, I also hit the top of the Envoy and came down and have two crushed vertebrae in my back still to this day, I hit the drivers door and then broke the steering column and the center console with my body, again because the air bag did not go off nor did the seat belt hold me in place.

My GMC Envoy is not a year old. . . . Bought may 2004. And sometimes the brakes do not work. As I am approaching the traffic stop and I step on the brakes. . My vehicle is not stopping until I get very close to traffic. I do not feel safe in my vehicle but its my only liable transportation. I tried taking it to my dealer, but they can not find anything wrong. They just advised me that the abs is doing it's job. I think that if the abs is doing its job, the vehicle would stop right away, not went I'm near killing myself and others!!! my dealer says that I should trade it in, but I owe alot on this vehicle already!!! what else can I do? I had 3 incidents already. The last incident date is recorded below. I also had other things happen to my vehicle as well, such as trottling noise in the engine and once the vehicle completely stop and there was major noise from the engine. The check engine message also lights up every one in a while. I feel that my dealer which is called performance of farmington new mexico, are waiting until my warranty ends or until I have a vehicle accident. I need some help.

2004 GMC Envoy developed the following problems: vehicle stalled, turn signals stopped working, blower fan stopped working, and the srs light remains lit. The turn siganls stopped working due to a short in the flasher. The powertrain control module was replaced due to the ses light iluminating. The blower motor fan failed 4 times due to a short in the wires and control head. The vehicle overheated, but the problem could not be diagnosed. The lcd displays, knobs become extremly hot after hours of driving.

While driving 30 mph the vehicle was impacted on it's passenger side. The vehicle flipped over three times before coming to a stop. The consumer was wearing a seat belt at the time, but none of the six air bags deployed. The consumer suffered cuts, bruises and blood loss. The manufacturer and the dealer have not been informed of the failure.

Faulty driver side seat belt that will not release to fasten. I have taken the car in and the repair person said that there was nothing wrong, and that it just was catching on something. Also, the passenger side door behind the drivers seat was very hard to open the repair person at the same dealership broke the handle trying to open the door. The repair shop did fix the handle for free, however the door remains still very hard to open and I would not use this particular door. After a while the door would not close and the door latch had to be replaced at my expense. The back window would not go all the way up and the actuator had to be replaced also. I am not sure what month the first incidence took place, but everything seemed to happen quickly afterwards.

My wife was driving around 35 mph during a clear day when suddenly the steering wheel of our 2003 GMC Envoy started wobbling and she couldn't control it anymore. She stepped on the brakes but the vehicle wouldn't stop. The vehicle went over the curb and initially hit a utility pole on the left passenger side, then eventually hit the tree with the front bumper and knocked the two stationary objects down. Surprisingly, the airbag didn't even deploy. The insurance company declared the vehicle total wrecked and unrepairable. As expected, GMC declined responsibilities. They sent a so called independent investigator but they wouldn't give me his phone number. The report they sent contained only raw data about the airbag and nothing about the steering wheel. I will never buy or recommend a GMC again.

Consumer lost control of vehicle and hit a ledge, and none of the air bags deployed. The dealer stated that if the vehicle hit 6 inches to the right, then the air bags would have deployed.

All of the eight (8) air bag equipped in the vehicle failed to deploy during frontal impact, althought properly restrained the consumer still sustained serious internal injuries, including a lacerated liver. (attorney on behalf of client0 nlm.

The vehicle experienced problems with the air bag. The dealer indicated that there was corrosion around the air bag.

While traveling at 70 mph another vehicle was traveling east bound crossed consumers path unexpectantly, causing consumer to hit a tree. Consumer states none of the airbags deployed. Please provide any further information.
