general problems of the 2017 Buick Encore

While traveling at approximately 77 mph on the interstate, I was forced off the road by another vehicle, causing my car to collide with a cable barrier. The initial impact was to the front driver’s side corner, and the vehicle then scraped along the driver’s side against the barrier. Despite the high-speed impact, no airbags deployed. •component or system that failed: the frontal airbag system failed to deploy. •safety risk: the non-deployment of the airbags at this speed and impact angle posed a serious risk to my safety. The lack of airbag activation during a high-speed frontal crash greatly increased the likelihood of injury. •has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent shop? no. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a dealership or repair facility, and the issue has not been confirmed or diagnosed by a professional. •has the vehicle or component been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance, or others? no. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or any other party as of this report. •warning lamps, messages, or symptoms before the incident: no warning lights or messages were active before the crash. There were no known symptoms or alerts indicating a problem with the airbag system.

Passenger airbag light on dash is lit. Has ben lit for about a month.

This car is not mine but someone somehow fraudulently registered it in my name. I got the VIN # from truth finder when I did a search on myself. Please help.

The contact owns a 2017 Buick Encore. The contact stated that while the front passenger's side seat was occupied, the seat belt chime reminder failed to engage while the front passenger's side seat belt was not buckled, and the message "air bag off" was displayed. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the front passenger's side seat presence module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign numbers: 17v437000(air bags, seat belts) and 16v651000(air bags, seat belts); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

On 12/27/22 around 9:40pm my husband and I were traveling home on the 580 altamont pass going towards tracy. I was traveling next to the slow lane. My speed limit was at 65! there was 18 wheeler 53 footer on the right of me on the slow lane. The 18th wheeler with no signal began drifting his trailer in my lane hit my right side and proceeded to drag my 2017 Buick Encore all the way to the left slammed the truck up against the cement barrier. And rolled the back end of his trailer onto the hood of the right side of the car and he disconnected. Side air bags and front airbags did not deploy. Which cause injury to my front of my body and back and spine injuries to my body and to my husband as well.

Was rear ended by a suspect fleeing police, he hit me about 100 mph, pushed my car into the rear of the car in front of me. Air bags did not deploy.

Consumer writes in regard to no airbag deployment after an accident.

We hit 2 deers at 70 mph it damaged the whole front part of our car . None of the air bags deployed. The 4 way flashers came on the seatbelts locked up yet no airbags. Also this is the first and only time the 4 way flashers worked. The car has been fixed and no 4 way flashers again.
