My son and I was in an accident saturday february 16. My right front tire went off the road and I tried to correct it when my back right tire went off the road and I tried to correct and went to the left when my left back tire dug into the earth and caused my truck to flip over. When the truck flipped over my son was ejected from the vehicle and he was wearing his seat belt but the belt came undone. Also in the rollover no side air bags deployed when if they did it might have kept him in the vehicle. Beware is all I can say.
Chevrolet tahoe was double parked on east 15th street between 1st and 2nd ave in nyc. Truck was in "park" when both side airbags inadvertently deployed. There was no impact from any other car and the truck was not moving. This is obviously a manufacturer defect and replacement or repair must be the responsibility of general motors and/or insurance co (nationwide).
