Description of the problem | The driver as well as the front seat passenger loses the benefit of the airbags in the front seat and the airbag status indicator lights. Neither airbag deployed in my crash in which the car was completely destroyed and both driver and passenger injured. I was driving at approximately 15 mph and turning left on a city street. A letter from buick in december 2016 claimed that only the air bag on the passenger's side needed fixing. |
