Recently reported AIR BAGS problems on 2017 Chevrolet Volt

My volt was t-boned on the passenger side of the car by a red light runner. i had just started to enter into the intersection a second or so after my light turned green, so not going very fast. the other car was going 25-35 mph (approx.). this was on a city street, both one ways streets so that driver was able to build up some momentum. i was pushed into the car to my left (driver's side). the damage was enough to total the car. the air bags were not deployed.

The sensing diagnostic module failed at ~38k miles causing the airbags to stop working. this happened when the vehicle was parked.

The battery energy control module failed at ~34k miles. this happened when the vehicle was parked and prevented the car from using the batteries for driving. the failure made the car unusable.

When pulling into my garage, the car suddenly accelerated unexpectedly and collided with the front wall of the garage (photo 08); when i shifted to reverse, the car careened out of the garage, across the driveway, and collided with my neighbor's home (photo 09), leaving skid marks (photos 06 & 07) on the garage floor. the car was in normal electric mode at the time. i purchased the car as a certified used car on may 3rd from dave gill chevrolet in columbus, oh. there were 12,490 miles on the car at purchase and a little less than 14,000 miles as the time of the accident. i am uploading nine (9) photos.
