AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT MAY 28, 2002 IN WHICH BOTH VEHICLES MADE CONTACT AT THEIR LEFT FRONT CORNERS. TOTAL VEHICLE SPEED WAS AT LEAST 40 MPH AT CONTACT AND MAYBE HIGHER. THE OTHER VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS BOTH DEPLOYED WHILE NEITHER ONE OF MINE IN A 2002 ENVOY DID. THIS WAS NOT A DIRECT HEAD ON CRASH, BUT THE ANGLE OF IMPACT WAS SUCH THAT BOTH VEHICLES STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. THE ONLY MOVEMENT AFTER IMPACT WAS A PIVOTING AROUND WITH THE REAR OF BOTH VEHICLES. IN OTHER WORDS, WE STOPPED UPON CONTACT. BOTH VEHICLES WERE A TOTAL LOSS AND THERE WERE INJURIES IN MY VEHICLE. THEY WERE NOT SEVERE, BUT HAPPENED NONETHELESS. MY 8 YEAR OLD SON HAD SEVERE SEAT AND SHOULDER BELT MARKINGS AS WELL AS BRUISES FROM HIS LEG HITTING A PHONE HOLDER. I RECEIVED SOME NECK INJURIES THAT ARE STILL BEING TREATED AND AT THIS DATE WE DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG TREATMENT WILL TAKE. I HAVE PHOTOS OF BOTH MY VEHICLE AND THE INJURIES TO MY SON. MY QUESTION AND COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE REASONS THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I BELIEVE THAT IN AN IMPACT OF THIS NATURE, THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL YEAR FOR AN AIRBAG, AND I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL, BUT WHEN THE DEALER RAN MY VIN MY VEHICLE DID NOT SHOW UP AS NEEDING THE FIX. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE RECALL INVOLVED THE DEPLOYMENT MECHANISM.*AK

FIRST, RAINSENSE WINDSHIELD WIPER EQUIPPED VEHICLE HAS WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP AND STUTTER AT LEAST THREE TIMES ON EACH FORWARD AND BACK CYCLE WHEN IN INTERMITTENT MODE. WIPERS NOW DELAY UP TO 30 SECONDS AT TOP OF CYCLE (STRAIGHT UP ON WINDSHIELD) AND ARE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION WITH VEHICLE IN FRONT. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE "PULSE RELAY" WHICH DID NOT WORK AND THEN TECH STATED THEY OPERATE NORMALLY AND CUSTOMER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND FUNCTION OF RAINSENSE FEATURE DESPITE OWNING VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS WITHOUT PRIOR ISSUE. SECOND, RIGHT PASSENGER OUTSIDE MIRROR RANDOMLY CHANGES SETTING CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD DURING MANEUVERING OF VEHICLE. DEALER STATES THERE IS NO PROBLEM DESPITE FIXING AT LEAST 5 TIMES PRIOR. PLEASE NOTE PRIOR 19 COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA ONLINE OUT OF 200 LISTED. THIS WOULD SEEM TO REQUIRE A RECALL. *JB

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED TWICE, BUT STILL VIBRATES, AND FAILS TO MOVE VEHICLE FORWARD AT TIMES, FROM A DEAD STOP. IS VERY DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS WHERE MOVING QUICKLY IS IMPERATIVE. ALSO WIRING PROBLEMS WHICH OPERATE VARIOUS REMOTE INSTRUMENTS (MIRRORS, SEATS, ETC.) FEAR OF FIRE. REAR DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED - CLICKS "LOCKED/UNLOCKED" WHILE DRIVING. SEATS MOVE ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:POWER STEERING FLUID
I AM CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY DEFECT THAT EXIST IN MY GMC ENVOY 2002. I OWN THIS VEHICLE SINCE MARCH 2002 (1 YEAR) AND IT STALLED 5 TIMES ALREADY WHEN DRIVING. IT HAPPEND 3 TIMES WHEN I STOPPED MY VIHICLE AT RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND 2 TIMES WHEN BREAKING TO SLOW DOWN, DRIVING DOWNHILL BEFORE A CURVE. THIS 2 TIMES HAVE SCARED ME SO MUCH THAT I AM AFFRAID TO USE THIS CAR AGAIN. I DRIVE CARS FOR 28 YEARS AND NOTHING LIKE THAT HAS HAPPEND TO ME IN MY LIFE. ENGINE STOPS WORKING, ALL LIGHTS GO OUT AND THERE IS NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHATSOEVER. I AM HAPPY NO ONE GOT HURT IN THOSE INCIDENTS. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 16K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN IN SERVICE NUMEROUS TIMES ALREADY, INCLUDING POWER STEERING LEAK - 2 TIMES REPAIRED. I DO NOT THINK DRIVING THIS CAR IS SAFE AND FOR THAT REASON I CANNOT USE IT ANYMORE.
