What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 buick lacrosse. The contact stated that while going through an intersection, another vehicle crashed into the rear passenger's side of her vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a neck injury and was knocked unconscious, which required medical attention. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Within the last few years I have noticed the airbag light has been coming on intermittently, every month or so for a few hours to a day. While at the dealer I was told to bring it back when the light is on. This happens when I start the car to make a trip to a store or other daily drives. The problem is getting to the dealer with it on.
