I WAS DRIVING WEST BOUND ON I-10 TOWARDS TUCSON ARIZONA. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND THERE WAS A PICKUP TRUCK IN THE LEFT LANE. THE PICKUP TRUCK CUT ME OFF AND MOVED INTO MY LANE WITHOUT CHECKING HIS BLIND SPOT. I QUICKLY SWERVED TO THE RIGHT INTO THE LANE FOR THE UPCOMING EXIT TO AVOID BEING HIT, AND WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT TO LEFT IN ORDER TO NOT HIT EXIT SIGN THE BRAKES FELT AS IF THEY DID NOT WORK RIGHT AND I COULDN'T GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WENT INTO A ROLL AND LANDED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I HAD LEFT TOWN THE DAY BEFORE AND WAS ON MY WAY BACK. WHEN I CONTACTED MY PARENTS ABOUT THE ACCIDENT ON THE 21ST THEY TOLD ME THAT A RECALL HAD COME IN THE MAIL THE DAY BEFORE FOR MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL WAS THE GM RECALL NOTICE. BECAUSE I WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL I HAD MANY KEYS ON MY KEY RING. I FEEL THAT ALTHOUGH THE REASON I HAD TO SWERVE WAS BECAUSE OF ANOTHER CAR, THE REASON I COULDN'T GET BACK CONTROL WAS A MALFUNCTION IN MY CAR. *TR
