MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE PA TURNPIKE AROUND 12 AM ON OCT. 5, 2015. SHE WAS CHANGING LANES, MOVING INTO THE LEFT LANE NEXT TO HER AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, IT WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ENVOY DROVE RIGHT INTO THE MEDIAN AT FULL FORCE, SPUN AROUND, AND FLIPPED TWICE. WHEN THE CAR LANDED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS, SHE WAS ACROSS THE LANES OF TRAFFIC. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND TO SAFETY PRIOR TO BEING HIT BY 2 OTHER CARS COMING DOWN THE ROAD. THE ENVOY WAS TOTALED. BY THE GRACE OF GOD MY DAUGHTER MADE IT OUT ALIVE AND IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH HER LEFT KNEE. WE ARE NOT SURE WHY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, UNABLE TO TURN, FORCING HER DIRECTLY INTO THE MEDIAN. IT COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN OR WHEELS. THE ENVOY IS CURRENTLY AT A COLLISION YARD IN LEVITTOWN, PA.

IN ROUTE TO WORK DRIVING MY 2004 GMC ENVOY I WAS INVOLVED IN WHAT I WOULD CONSIDERED A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A TELEPHONE POLE. THE IMPACT WAS GREAT ENOUGH TO SPILT THE POLE IN TWO, TOP HALF JUST MISSING THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE . UPON IMPACT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID MY SEAT BELTS LOCK ME IN CAUSING ME TO FLY FORWARD HITTING MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, I HAD TO BE EXTRACTED FROM VEHICLE BY FIRE DEPARTMENT AND TRANSPORTED TO ER. I NOW HAVE PERMANENT SCAR APPROXIMATELY 5 INCHES IN LENGTH ACROSS MY FOREHEAD. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GMC LATER TO BE INFORMED THAT AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION THEY CONCLUDED THAT SINCE THE PASSENGER SIDE TOOK THE GREATER OF THE IMPACT THE IMPACT WAS NOT GREAT ENOUGH TO WARRANT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
