I was involved in a hit and run back in march 2017 the person backed into the pass-side of my car as I was driving 35 MPH down the main road , the side impact airbag did not deploy from impact , the dealership said this is not a takata issue as they were replaced by the current recall and they don't know why they didn't deploy . The electrical issue is the onstar response system didn't detect the crash and call for help- I had to push the button to get help . The car can not get directions sent to it from onstar and the electrical keeps failing/loosing power and I was told to replace the batter and alternator but it still does it and the wires r fine . Dealership told me to replace the computer control system but seems their guessing and I don't have $1,200 around to do it . The side impact airbag should of deployed and the onstar sensor should of detected it and called for help.

Service air bags light remains lit. I took the car to the dealership yesterday regarding a constant warning light indicating a malfunction of the air bag system. The service manager stated that it was caused by a defective airbag module and wiring harness. At that time, I was informed that the front air bags would not deploy in the event of an accident that required airbags.repairs would cost over $1100. Nothing was done to the vehicle to cause this malfunction.

Stopped behind traffic and the vehicle behind me did not. Not sure how fast they were going, but fast enough to hit the rear of my car 2 times and push me into the vehicle in front of me. The problem is-- my air bags did not deploy. I am having issues with back and neck since the seat belt did not hold me in place. The drivers seat broke, but the passengers seat belt held, but no air bags.
