Recently reported AIR BAGS problems on 2017 Volkswagen Passat

I was hit from behind in stopped traffic and pushed into the car in front of me. i was stopped in heavy traffic on a two-way road when hit. the driver airbag didn't deploy and the collision inspector told me that my seat belt didn't either! i am lucky i wasn't hurt worse. the car i was driving was not a safe car, but was sold to me as a certified preowned car.

Failed steering wheel clock spring on a 2017 vehicle that has been driven 20,000 miles over 14 months. after being parked for approx 40 mins, pulling out of a parking spot my steering wheel make popping/clicking sounds and immediately the airbag error sensors went off along with my service vehicle warning. upon turning out of the parking lot the steering wheel made a few additional pops/clicks. immediately drove to the dealership where they diagnosed the steering wheel clock spring issue. the dealership did not have a part on hand and had to order it, so i drove the vehicle home. now that i'm home and researching the failed steering wheel clock spring issue, i am questioning whether i should have been advised to not drive the vehicle, especially with my child in the back seat.
