general problems of the 2012 Buick Verano

The passenger airbag indicator goes on and off with person in passenger seat. We first noticed this summer 2023. It has gotten worse. Now a passenger can shift weight slightly one way or another and cause the indicator status to change which disables the airbag. Dealer also confirmed (4/16/24) dtc code b0081(internal malfunction with passenger presence module). I have recently learned there was a warranty extension for this failure (which had expired) which I was unaware of. I now have a vehicle which I feel is unsafe to travel with a passenger! if gm is aware of the problem and the dealer (imperial Chevrolet) has charged me $160 diagnostic fee for a known problem and tells me it will cost approx. $1,800 to repair/replace the sensor and module.

This airbag is supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle and it has not. On top of it not lasting I am being charged to fix the airbag issue replacement and it is at fault of general motors for not offering a lifetime lasting airbag.

The contact owns a 2012 Buick Verano. The contact stated while driving at 30 mph another vehicle was traveling in the opposite direction and struck the front driver side of the contact’s vehicle causing damaged to front ended of both vehicles. The airbags did not deploy in the contact vehicle but in the other vehicle the airbags did deploy. No major injuries and no one seek medical attention. The police report was filed. The vehicle was towed and deemed total lost. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 106,000.

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!.

Says service aig bag this is not safe. .

The system air bag notices keeps coming in the car, when you put your seat beat on it goes away. Also the oil button doesn't come on , the car constantly shakes and the check engine like keeps coming on after even being repaired. I needed a fuel pump and that's been fixed but the problem is happening again.

Vehicle displays service airbag message intermittent while driving also does not show airbag is on for passenger.

While driving in the freeway going at 65 mph. The light on the dash came on and it said, service airbags. When I got home and I turned off my car the light went off and I thought that it could of been a glitch in the car. Two days later the light came back on and has been on ever since. I have called the dealer trying to find answers but they say there is no recall for my car. But yet I see so many issues with he airbags on Buick Veranos.

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!.

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).
