| With cruise control on at 70mph, attempted to change from left to right lane. another car sped up the right lane to pass me. turned steering wheel back to left lane and suddenly had no control over steering, braking and the steering wheel started violently shaking. car rolled twice, over metal median and turned 180 degrees facing the opposite direction on the interstate w/ roof crushed in. neither side or front air bags deployed. front and sides smashed in and frame bent. vehicle was deemed to be totalled by state farm. have been driving 40 years and have never had an accident in my life. only good thing was the seatbelt held tight as i was hanging upside down when the car finally stopped. the day before this occurred i noticed that the stability control system would randomly engage during straight driving on a perfectly dry surface. i purchased this vehicle brand new from the dealer in 2004 and the car was meticulously maintained. (it looked brand new). | |||

| Dt: the contact has a 2004 suburban. it has been in the repair shop 4-5 times for air bag problems. the air bag light would come on periodically and then it would stay on. in may 05 the dealer replaced the connectors. since then they have had to replace the air bag on the driver's side, and the computer that goes to the air bag on driver's side. they replaced the connectors again last week on 8-17-05. the contact talked to gm, and they offered him an extension on the warranty for the air bag. no one was able to give a definitive answer as what was causing the air bag problem. *ak *nm | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet suburban. the air bag warning light illuminated and the dealer, macmahon chevrolet, performed a diagnostic and found no failures. however, they were able to get the light to dim. the following day the failure occurred and the light remained illuminated for approximately a week. the light would illuminate intermittently. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance ,and informed the contact that the center that sends the signal for the air bagswas damaged. this failure would prevent the air bags from deploying in a crash. the current mileage is 80,000, and failure mileage was 60,000. *ak | |||
