| Description of the problem | On sept 21, 2012 i was driving home for lunch and after driving for about 10 minutes i notice my radio shut off and on, the power door locks kept locking and unlocking. Also, the gauges on the dash where coming on and off and all the lights inside on the tahoe where going on and off also. As soon as everything stopped my airbags deployed and hit my face and chest. I remember a cloud of white powder and realized i was still driving. I was able to avoid running into on coming traffic. |
