What owners wrote
Air bags did not deploy when car hit and sheared off a telephone pole. Car was totaled with front bumper and cross member pushed back to the engine block.
Passenger airbag light on--means airbag will not/may not deploy if in an auto accident. Dealer sharpe buick replaced module approx 3 times but problem still exists. I was told that airbag light had to stay on constant before they could do anything, light is always on and problem was still not resolved. Also antifreeze leaking due to leaking lower intake gasket which has been leaking for years also taken to sharpe buick several times they didn't see a problem even when there was a smell at the dealership.
