I haven’t been in an accident or even tapped anything with my vehicle but a system warning stating the airbags may be malfunctioning continuously flashed on the driver dashboard and now my “check engine” warning light is continuously lit.
Was in a bad wreck, other drivers car deployed airbags, mine did not but engine shut off and hazards stayed on. Crash was about 30 miles an hour or so at impact.
While someone is in my passenger seat, ally gages will go to 0, (including while driving) the seat warms will turn off, also my stereo shuts down. I get a notification saying "service tire monitoring system", "service thief deterrent system" also something about the airbags.
Whenever a passenger rides in the front seat all electrical components lose proper function. Heating/air-conditioning does not work, multiple warning sensors go off, radio does not work, gas gauge does not work, speedometer does not work, blinkers do not work.
My windshield and back window was fogging on the inside during the fall and frosting on the inside during the winter. My carpets felt like a sponge. It turned out there were 6" of standing water under my floorboards on the driver side of the car (front and back). The mechanic traced this back to an opening between two panels, just below the windshield, that were never sealed. He said I was lucky. If the water got any higher, it could have interfered with the electrical and airbag system. I also lucked out in that there was no mold growth. My car was purchased new only five years prior and had never been in an accident. Repair required the removal of my windshield, a side panel on the car, my driver seat, and the tearing up of my carpets.
Car was sitting still and it was rear ended hard and sent my car forward into the car with b front of me my air bags did not go off. It was a high impact crash and they should have gone off I was seen in emergency room with possible fractures to my sternum and third rib. I feel this should be compensated and the car maker needs to be aware in the event other cars have this problem.

The car was rear ended at a fast speed as it was proceeding at a slow pace as traffic was starting to take off from being at a stand still. The person driving was slammed into the steering wheel at the same time the seat belt flew off and the buckle struck the driver on the arm causing injury the seatbelt would not retract back into place and also the driver's knee hit the steering causing the key to break off into the ignition causing injury to the knee and leg. The car accident happened on the top of the bridge leading to the highway. The car was moving at a slow pace because traffic had stopped then proceeded to go. It didn't have a chance to go full speed before being struck. I believe the force of the impact caused the seatbelt to malfunction I don't know why the air bag didn't deploy.
I have noticed that my car cuts off frequently at stop lights also my car accelerates slow when entering onto highway. . . I was in a car accident 7/18/16 in which my airbags on steering wheel partiallu deployed while the others did not in result leaving me with a fractured finger.
I pulled to a stop at a stop sign. The car went into auto stop. As I try to navigate right the steering lock up on me. This made the car start climbing the side of the road. I tried to step on the brakes and the car accelerated and hit the wall.
