I backed out of my driveway and proceeded down the highway and the passenger side airbag exploded on my wife's arm. I am afraid that it will happen on the drivers side while driving. What should I do for safety sake?

I own a 1997 cadillac deville. My air bag sensor has been coming on and going off on my instrument panel for the last few months. I have had the car checked several times and I was told the sensor was defective. This is for the air bag on the driver's side door. Today 2/24/12 the air bag deployed as I was about to back out of my drive way. My current mileage is 94,000 miles. I am also having troubles with having to press my brakes almost to the floor for the car to stop.

Tl*the contact owns a 1997 cadillac deville. For the past two weeks, the air bag light illuminates on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized general motors dealer and they stated that there were no recalls. The dealer performed a diagnostic, which indicated that there was a defect in the side sensor control module. The dealer stated that nothing could be done at this time; however, they referred him to the federal safety agency to file a complaint. The failure and current mileages were 92,000. Updated 02-21-08

Air bag warning light comes on. I find that my vehicle has a VIN in the middle of those for which cadillac has issued a recall fix, but for some reason my vehicle is not eligible. I bought my car used, and it was covered by warranty... Why isn't it eligible for recall fixes to safety related items?

Gm will be sending out an inspector to determine cause of brake failure.I do not know what brake component failed. Whether it was master cylinder, ABS, vacuum booster, etc. I only know there was failure. I was traveling at a speed of 15-20 MPH with plenty of space to stop in response to 2 separate accidents that happened just in front of me. I applied the brake and when I got no response I pressed the petal with extreme pressure and the pedal went to the floor. Later at the garage the pedal again went to the floor, but on another occasion it was able to stop. Air bags did not deploy. Actual damage in dollars is only estimate as adjuster has not determined cost as yet. Another car ( 1999 geo) was hit in rear and I do not know the amount of her damages. I have contacted cadillac and I am not happy that an impartial witness cannot be on site when they do their physical examination. Please be advised that milage is close estimate. The car is physically not at this location . I also do not know if it is a 2point 3 point or motor belt .
