2007 GMC Acadia: airbags did not deploy in a crash

Premature airbag deployment I was jumping the acadia from our 2012 ford fusion due to a no start - no crank issue. The acadia's battery was completely discharged, so I placed jumper cables onto the positive end from the fuse box and the ground terminal. The acadia's horn worked, indicating electrical power, so I tried to crank it but it did not crank. I turned the ignition key to the off position and sat in the driver's seat for less than a minute before the driver airbag suddenly deployed. The passenger airbag did not deploy. Before this happened, the acadia's alternator was replaced back in july or august. The car drove fine for about a month before the charging system failed and the car would not start again. The car sat in the yard for about a month before I tried to jump it off the first time. The car did start, but it died about 5 minutes later. The car sat in the yard for week before I tried to start it again. This is when the airbag deployed. One more thing: the acadia leaked from the sunroof, and the inside of the car was wet. I don't know if this could have caused an issue with the electronics. Attached are pictures after the airbag deployed.

I was in a auto accident in feb/2012. I pulled out in front of someone and they hit me at the left front fender and drivers door. I was stopped and the other vehicle was traveling between 55-60 MPH. No air bags went off in the vehicle. I feel that at least the side airbag should have went off.

Involved in frontal colision with major damage pushed into the drivers door making it difficult to open. The airbags did not inflate. Also issues with the battery that it would go dead every so often. This was look at by my dealer and I was told there was no issue. The battery went totally dead and we were unable to call for road side assistance and had to use my cell phone. Other issues todate the remote start works only when it wants to and at times the cruise control and all other steering wheel controls will not work. Then start working with out any reason.
