I was in a traffic jam and had a blowout. My airbags didn't go off no accident was able to pull over. Got it towed to get a new tire. Now I took my car in to get the aribag light off and it's $2000 for seatbelt sensor and another sensor from a blowout that's redicilous. The airbags didn't go off. Now I don't have any air bags because of a tire blowout. No damage to the car either. Please help and thank you for your time!

Hit black ice on 2 lane highway, rate of speed about 40 MPH. Car impacted concrete barriers causing the front end to be demolished as well as both front tires to be turned upward. Front and side airbags did not deploy. This car is not on a recall list but perhaps there are more owners out there who have had the same issue with 2012 buick verano. I am far from an expert but I assume due to damage on the front end the air bags should have deployed.

I was not paying attention and hit a parked car with the front, right side of my buick verano. It messed up my front, right tire and side as well as the other car's left back tire and side. The police came and took a report. The car was towed to bob [xxx], my dealer, in plymouth, mi. My friend drove me back home. Once I was home rethinking the incident, I realized that no air bag deployed at any time. I went to internet and discovered that buick verano 2012 air bags were recalled a year ago. I never received any information about this recall. I have since talked to the gm customer service who said they will make a thorough inspection of the car. This accident took place on july 17, 2014. I have heard nothing about my car. It is still at bob jeanotte's, I think. My insurance, auto owner's, sent me a check for approx. $4,000 to cover the cost of repairs. But I am not turning it into [xxx] until I get my car back. I am very nervous about this incident. Thank god, I only hit a parked car. If I was hit from the front, I could be seriously injured or killed! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I hit a parked car. My front, right tire went flat and was twisted. I swerved to the right to avoid hitting another car. My car ended up in the middle of the street, but could not be driven because of the right front tire. By the time I got home, I realized that my air bag did not inflate at all. Although my left leg was terrible swollen, my biggest fear was the air bag. It was towed to bob jeanotte dealership in plymouth, mi where they said they would get an independent person to investigate the air bag - it is was part of the recall. Whether it was or not, it didn't open. I could have been killed. No one told me of a recall!
