2006 BUICK LUCERNE Air Bags Problems

The airbag lights on and there is an electrical issue also that causes the car to smoke and nearly catch fire, as soon as the battery is reconnected. Therefore rendering it non drivable. It's the same problems that are associated with the 2006 Lucern,s. When i look up the year make and model it says there should be a recall but once you put in the vin it nothing comes up.The vehicle is readily available upon request but has not been inspected by anyone else.

2006 LUCERNE SUDDENLY LEFT CITY ROADWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. LUCERNE COLLIDED WITH TWO TELEPHONE POLES POSITIONED NEXT TO EACH OTHER. DELTA V OF COLLISION BETWEEN 22 AND 25 MPH. POLE TO DRIVER SIDE FRAME IMPACT WITH DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL PUSHED INTO DRIVER FLOOR BOARD SO FLOOR PUSHED AGAINST BRAKE PEDAL POST COLLISION. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. PDOF WAS NEAR STRAIGHT AHEAD OR 12 O'CLOCK. DRIVER BELT SPOOLED OUT ALLOWING DRIVER'S HEAD TO SIGNIFICANTLY DEFORM THE UPPER STEERING WHEEL RIM. DRIVER BELT CUT A NOTCH IN THE B-PILLAR TRIM EXITING THE D-RING HOLE. GM LOOKED AT THIS CAR IN LITIGATION AND AGREED THAT THE DRIVER WAS BELTED. DRIVER SUFFERED JAW FRACTURES, RIB FRACTURES AND LUNG INJURY. DRIVER DIED OF COLLISION RELATED INJURIES 6 MONTHS POST COLLISION. GENERAL MOTORS MAY DISPUTE WHETHER THE DEATH WAS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG NON-DEPLOYMENT, BUT IT CAN NOT DISPUTE THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE JAW AND RIB FRACTURES TO THE NON-DEPLOYMENT. DOWNLOAD OF SDM SHOWED NO "EVENTS RECOVERED". THAT APPEARS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE 2006 COBALT IGNITION RECALL ISSUE. THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AFTER THE ACCIDENT HAS A STRING OF KEYS AND OTHER ITEMS HANGING DOWN SEVERAL INCHES FROM THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, ALSO SEEMINGLY CONSISTENT WITH THE 2006 COBALT IGNITION RECALL ISSUE. DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN PROTECTED FROM SERIOUS INJURY BE A TIMELY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN THIS COLLISION ACCORDING TO BIOMECHANICS RETAINED BY THE DRIVER'S FAMILY IN LITIGATION AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS. THIS COMPLAINANT SUSPECTS THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE 2006 IS SIMILAR TO THE 2006 COBALT IGNITION SWITCH, BUT DOES NOT HAVE DEFINITIVE CONFIRMATION OF THAT. COMPLAINANT CAN SEND PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DAMAGE TO THE LUCERNE AND THE LUCERNE BOSCH CDR CRASH DATA RETRIEVAL REPORT BY EMAIL OR OTHER MEANS AT YOUR REQUEST. *TR

MY PARENTS WERE INVOLVED IN A FRONT-END COLLISION. THEIR CAR WAS TOTALED; THE FRONT END WAS SMASHED IN SO THAT THEY HAD TO PRY OPEN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT TO REMOVE THEIR PERSONAL PAPERS AND THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED; THE FRONT AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY FATHERS MOST SEVERE INJURIES WERE DUE TO THE FRONT AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THIS MODEL IS NOT PART OF THE GM RECALL OF CARS WHOSE FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN FRONT-END COLLISIONS. IT'S TAKEN GM 10 YEARS; 13 FATALITIES; AND COUNTLESS OTHER INJURIES; TO FINALLY RECALL SOME MODELS; BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL. SHAME ON THE NHTSA FOR NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH. UPDATED 05/12/14
