My accident was may 25th 2018, my back passenger went off of a soft shoulder throwing me into 2 trees, I hit first one and seatbelt came apart but still over one shoulder hitting second tree and only thing that saved me was my right foot was under the brake and not on it, I hit my head on windshield causing me to have vision problems, severe whiplash, and rsd in right leg, I have to have cane, walker, or powerchair, my husband wants a divorce bc of my depression, my kids get fustrasted bc I forget I said something and I continue to repeatedly say thing, I never had none of this wrong with me till this accident and monique hill in claims says none of my injuries nor my family problems have nothing to do with general motors and I didn't hit sensors, I never had a seatbelt on but if that was the case that ding sound wouldn't have stopped! my life has completely changed and I'm losing my family bc of a accident.

The electrical component for the airbag sensor is located under the drink cup holder. . Due to the location of the sensor the sensor gets wet and creates a safety issue by not deploying the air bags when needed. . I took my car in to the GMC dealer and was told it was not a recall issue, I was shocked because the mechanic told me it was a safety issue and they had a lot of these issues but GMC decided it was not a safety recall issue. .

I purchased a 2005 GMC Envoy in September 2005. In the past year (since January 2007, at least), I have experienced several problems with my vehicle. The first problem is with the headlights. Everytime I have driven the vehicle the headlights appear to dim/flicker and then return to normal. This has resulted in oncoming vehicles turning their bright lights on me thinking my brights are on when in reality my headlights are dimming and then returning to normal. The second problem concerns the passenger side airbag. Anytime a certain weight limit is met or exceeded the airbag sensor is supposed to switch to on, but there have been several occasions when someone was sitting in the passenger seat and the airbag sensor hasn't recognized it. Third problem, driver side power seat failure. There have been several instances when I have tried to move the driver seat forward, but nothing happened. The motor sounded like it was grinding and wanted to move, but the seat would not move forward or backward. The most extreme problem to date has been with the vehicle completely shutting off without warning while in the middle of driving and then not starting or even turning over at all. Every single day for, at least, the last month when I go to start the vehicle it fails to start and it takes a minimum of 1 hour to get it started. One instance in particular when the vehicle shut off without warning was while my wife and I were on the freeway. Without warning the vehicle shut down and we were forced to pull onto the shoulder. We sat there for almost an hour in temperatures of 13 degrees trying to get the vehicle restarted. There have been countless complaints and reports of other Envoy owners experiencing these same problems. Some dealers have actually said that these failures/problems are normal!!!! what!?!?! are you freaking kidding me?! since when is it considered "normal" when so many Envoys are displaying these same problems?.

The contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy. While driving 65 mph the airbag activation light turned off without warning. The dealer stated that they were unable to duplicate the failure. Also, they found a box of kleenex under the front passenger side of the vehicle. The contact stated the vehicle had the same problem approximately three other times. The airbag sensor light will not reactivate. The dealer stated that the airbag occupant sensor system was working properly. The dealer advised the contact that she was too small to activate the airbag occupant sensor. The current mileage on the vehicle was 26,000 as of 05-02-07.

- the contact owns a 2003 GMC Envoy. The headlights, dashboard, and tail lights flashed randomly at any speed, this failure started in October of 2006. The weather and time of day were not factors in the failure. The dealership said that the failure was normal. There were tsbs for the failure, as well as for several others. The fuel neck had been replaced twice due to a design change. The seal around the licenses place holder came loose and had to be replaced. The brake pedal was squeaking, the contact took vehicle for service on three occasions, and replaced the serpentine belt twice, an airbag sensor, the rear wiper arm, the oxygen sensor twice ,the first time at 7000 miles. There were cruise control failures, when the contact tried to accelerate it hesitated and then surged. The weather stripping on the rear doors has been repaired three times. The abs would skip on a bumpy road and would not engage. At one point the contact could smell fuel in the passenger compartment and vehicle had very poor gas mileage, the dealer stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, but air valve became stuck and would not close. The rear door hinges squeaked. This winter it won't go to full voltage until a minute elapsed after the vehicle has been started. The original failure mileage was 3829, and the current mileage was 23700. The brakes were inoperative, the belts squeaked, there was a problem with the abs, the air bag light illuminated, the cruise control didn't work properly, the rear wiper would only wipe the middle of the back windshield. A new fuel neck was installed. Updated 03/15/07.

Consumer took the vehicle in to have the ball joints replaced at the dealer. After receiving the vehicle back consumer found that the horn no longer worked. Also, dealer examined the vehicle air bag module was defective.

Purchased 2003 GMC Envoy slt on 11/30/2002. Service airbag light came on as I was driving the vehicle off the lot. Returned to dealer for repair. Dealer said it was a loose wire in the sensor. One month later service airbag light came on again. Returned it to dealer, could not determine problem so they replaced the passenger side airbag. Service air bag light is on again. This is the third time. Also have had intermittent problems with the brakes. When approaching a stop light have had instances where the car will not stop, and the brake pedal is to the floor this has happened 3 times. Took it into the dealer and was told this is the way the brakes function on this vehicle????? have had intermittent problems with the 4 wheel drive. The lights on the 4 wheel drive indicator will flash from 2hi all the way to 4 whl drive without every touching the control. Extremely disappointed in this vehicle for the cost and unfortunately have a 4 year lease. Will not recommend or purchase another GMC product.

Vehicle's air bag light keep flashing/ vehicle running on high rpm's. Air bag sensor replaced and calibrations had to be updated. Additional problems included faded window moldings, loss of power and steering. Ignition switch and fuse block was replaced. Inoperative power mirrors. Parts had to be ordered. Consumer was upset with the number of problems experienced with vehicle and the number of recalls on this new SUV.
