ON MAY 24, 2012- I WAS TRAVELING OUT OUR MILE LONG GRAVEL DRIVEWAY. HALF WAY DOWN THE DRIVEWAY THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ON BOTH SIDES DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO CRASH- THEY JUST CAME OUT. I CONTACTED GM. THEY FINALLY SENT OUT A 3RD PARTY INVESTIGATOR TO INVESTIGATE THE VEHICLE. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A ROLL-OVER EVENT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT ROLL-OVER. GM TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN INSURANCE ISSUE. INSURANCE COMPANY SAYS IT IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE AND WAS GM'S PROBLEM TO FIX. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE STILL SITS WITH BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS OUT AND THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBELTS ARE LOCKED IN PLACE. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. *TR
