On March 12 my family was in a bad accident. We were cut off by another vehicle. It was raining..the Yukon slid..hit the barrier..flipped 3 times..finally stopping upside down..by the grace of god we are alive today...the air bags didn't deploy..we were on the highway going 60 miles when this accident happened.
We were headed back to our hotel room, when all of a sudden a deer jumps out in front of us, and we avoided the deer by swerving and missing it. Unfortunately the vehicle over corrected and we ended up rolling it. No air bags were deployed, and my seat belt came undone and I was thrown around in the vehicle as it rolled.
Airbag system failure noted by warning light. Inspected by GMC dealer who could not determine the cause. Recommended complete control system replacement >$1000.
