ON JANUARY 3RD, 2021, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON SLUSHY, ICY SECONDARY ROADS. THE REAR END CAUGHT SOME SLUSH, SLID SIDEWAYS AND SENT ME SLIDING ACROSS THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES AND INTO A DITCH WHERE I COLLIDED WITH A TREE HEAD ON. UPON IMPACT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.
NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I GET MY BRAKES FIXED THERE IS ALWAYS THE BREAK AND THE AIR BRAKE LIGHTS THAT APPEAR. I HAVE CHANGED TO SENSORS, FUSES AND STILL IT REMAINS.

MY CONCERN IS THE NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL. THANKFULLY, I ONLY RECEIVED MINOR SCRAPES AND BRUISES. PLUS, I AM VERY SORE STILL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD OF BEEN A WORSE CASE, WHERE I GOT SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DEATH BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. I HAVE NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO MAKE SURE THERE IS A WRITTEN PAPER TRAIL PERTAINING TO THESE ISSUES WITH THE YUKON. SPECIFICALLY, THE BR
