2015 Buick Encore Air bags Problems

“My car was in motion going approximately 45-50 MPH when it hit a stationary vehicle on the highway. I was able to hit my brakes but still hit the car in almost full force, head on. Both my car and the car I hit are totaled, and I was taken by ambulance to the hosputal after, but my airbags did not go off.”

“My passenger side airbag light comes on the dashboard telling me that my passenger side airbag is off even with someone sitting in the seat. I tested it with my boyfriend sitting in the seat holding our 40lb dog. Combined, they weigh over 200lbs and then light on my dashboard still says the passenger side airbag is off. The vehicle was not in motion. It was turned on asked parked in the driveway. I tested it while driving on a private road at 35mph and the light stays on while the car is in motion and while parked.”

“My front passenger air bag will not turn on with an average size person weighing 135lbs sitting in the front passenger seat. It seems to only work with someone sitting in it at a weight of over 200lbs. I just bought this car and my local gmc Buick dealership tells me there is nothing wrong with the sensor because the mechanic that worked on it sat in it at 220lbs and it turned on for him just fine. Plus they said they are receiving no error codes on it. …”

“General motors never notified me of a recall on my 2015 Buick Encore in sept 2016. I found out about the recall by reading it in the newspaper. It involved the air bag. I called my local dealer and they made the repair. I called GM and asked why they didn't notify me. They had no good answer as to why. One of the people I talked to said the reason was because the recall was before I purchased the car ( I bought the car in feb 2015) this makes no sense. My local dealer told me the recall was made on 9sep 2016. …”

“Passenger airbag shows off even when someone well above the weight limit is sitting in the seat. I am of the understanding that the air bag will not deploy should there be an accident and that the driver bag would not deploy either. The passenger air bag off light is on whether in motion or stationary. I believe that a software update is needed to correct this. I have a recall number of 16007 that I found on the internet but not sure it is the correct one. This needs immediate attention as it is a life threatening issue. This has been an issue since the beginning of january 2018.”
