My daughter was driving with my granddaughter and was hit from the rear, totaling my 2019 subaru outback. Both my daughter and granddaughter reported hitting the dashboard or the windshield. None of the airbags deployed and the driver's headrest ended up on the driver's lap. At the time of the accident, the front auto was about to start forward or had started forward when the signal light had just turned green.. The police report is attached, with a letter from the meridian, idaho police department. My concerns are 1) should the airbags have deployed and 2) should the driver's headrest have detached from the seat? If the driver's contact info is needed, please let me know.

Airbag warning light comes on when charging samsung galaxy note 9 phone with staples charger plugged into 12v socket. This is not only happening in my subaru. I rented a 2019 nissan pick up and the exact same thing happened. The questions that I have are: are the airbags still functional when the warning light comes on. Is it an issue with the samsung galaxy note 9. Is it an issue with a quick charger plugged into the 12v socket. Since it happened on 3 cars (2 different subarus, nissan truck), my assumption is the phone, charger or combination of the two. Happens when I plug the phone in, within a few minutes, I'm usually in motion. Doesn't matter city, highway, turning, etc. This has been happening regularly for some time.
Slowly pulling straight into parking spot at grocery store. Applied brake when car suddenly accelerated. I was able to control steering, but brakes would not work. Steered car into empty parking spot in front of me then turned hard right to avoid hitting parked cars in row across. Subaru hit a pick up truck that was reversing out of a diagonal parking spot. The car didn't stop upon impact, instead both right side wheels climbed up the side of truck at an angle. Air bags didn't deploy on impact. This was a very dangerous situation. The acceleration was uncontrollable and I am afraid to drive the car.
