Driving on freeway, engaged in normal breaking and wheels locked up and brakes no longer worked. I did not have the ability to brake or steer the SUV. I ultimately hit the center divider nearly head on, mostly middle to passenger side front of car. The air bags did not deploy. Had gm mechanic look at the brakes after the accident to attempt to determine what went wrong with brakes. They stated that the brake module needed to be replaced and that it can cause the "computers to not communicate correctly. "¿� the bad brake module also meant abs brakes would not work.
Air bag suspension will not stay air up. Constantly have to work on the abs.

One Sunday morning. Turned car off and heard a humming sound coming from under the hood on the driver side. Friend at church thought it sounded like the abs module running. Removed the fuse, cutting off abs module. Was advised by friend to replace fuse when we went to leave church but to take out when we got home or the battery might go dead. He said get it to a dealership ASAP. I I took the Rainier to john newsome superstore in hartsville, south carolina. I spoke to shop forman and he agreed it was the abs module. Cost to replace was $1200 and being unemployed and my wife only one working. A mechanic said it was still ok to drive without anti locking brakes. He was ase certified and told me to stay my distance from other cars in the rain and not to drive on the snow. Nothing about slamming on the brakes. Thats just what happen, on October 25/ 2011 I top a hill around 9pm at night running the speed limit. The hill is pointed and as you top the hill you can not see what is in front of you until you start down the hill. Once the Rainier started down the hill, in the middle of the road stood a large deer. I had to make a split decision and that decision was to hold the steering wheel straight at the deer and apply the brakes. When I had applied the brakes the rear end of the Rainier started to go around on the drivers side. I never turned the steering wheel, but as the rear of the car started going around the driver side it force the car to go foward into an inbankment, air bag did not employee. The car flip over and slide upside down, down the road. When the Rainier came to a stop, I unbuckled my seatbelt and feel to what was the roof. Could not open any doors or get any windows down but yet the radio was still playing and the motor was off. I climbed out the passanger side rear window, which broke during the accident.
