2016 buick enclave had a service airbag light/message illuminated on dashboard continuously. i brought the vehicle into the dealership for a diagnostic test & the issue is the wiring harness for the passenger side airbag. when the technician moves the wiring harness the light comes & goes. additionally, i found service bulletins talking about the same problem for various gm products.
We have a very serious concern about our vehicle. we were involved in a car accident on friday, july 28, 2018. a car ran right into our rear without stopping at about 45 mph. we were very surprised our airbags did not deploy upon impact. we smelled the smoke usually involved with the airbags being deployed but nothing happened other than a notification to service the airbags which did not exist prior to this incident. luckily, we had our seatbelts on but still suffered neck and back pain which will be further evaluated by a doctor. we believe our airbags were defective and are gravely upset at this occurrence.
We were involved in a motor vehicle accident on i-79 in pennsylvania where we were struck from the rear we were stopped in traffic the impact was severe it knocked the rear tire completely off. there was smoke coming in the vents of the front of the car and the air bags did not deploy. the front passenger seat belts tighten up so much that it caused bruising on my chest and ribs. my car was totaled out beyond repair. i do not understand why there was smoke coming from the front and the air bags did not deploy. upon our return home i received an email from diagnostic indicating there was a serious issue with the frontal air bags. i am being told there is no recalls on my vehicle this is concerning to me what if someone else is rear ended and the air bags fail causing death or injury. i believe my vehicle is defective and i don't know what to do.
