I was involved in a head-on collision on the frwy going 63mils per hr. My car is a total loss. This car has 6 airbags "standard safety features"which none of the 6 airbags deployed. I think they all are defect airbags.

The contact owns a 2013 Buick Lacrosse. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to patriot Buick GMC (4600 E central Texas expy, killeen, tx 76543) where it was diagnosed that the air bag system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Passenger sensing system appears to be too sensitive. Owners manual states that the system is designed to detect adult sized passengers. However a small purse (6lbs) is sufficient to activate the airbag light on the console and ring the chimes alerting the driver that the front passenger is not belted in. Tested with 8 Y/O daughter (43lbs) with same result. Dealer has examined the system and found it to be performing as designed. Buick customer service returned my phone call and stated that based on the malfunction and the verbiage in bulletin 12-09-41-002A this malfunction is okay and no further service is required. Important to note that my 2007 Yukon XL denali requires a weight of approximately 40 lbs to activate the seatbelt indicator and about 80lbs to turn on the airbag. Buick needs to be recalibrated.
