1999 Cadillac Deville airbags complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 49 of 49, newest first, as owners wrote them.
First problem was the battery short on 5-26-99, then on 6-15-99 air bag light came on, stating to service air bag. Vehicle was taken to dealer and I was advised that there was no problem with airbag system. On 7-7-99, air bag light came on again. Vehicle taken to dealer and again advised that nothing was wrong,l just a faulty light. They also stated that the air bag would never deloy unlesss there was an accident. On 7-29-00 while stopped at a red light. Airbag service light came on, and air bagsdeloyed immediately on drivers side door. Vehicle taken to dealer and left for 27 days. Gmc stated this has never happened to another vehicle. As I can see they lied to me, it has happened. I have a lawsuit pending with them since 11-29-99 requesting they buy back my vehicle. Nothing has been heard from since. On 11-1-99 fuel gauge sensor went out and had to be replaced. All these problems started with a battery short on 5-26-99 and the computer has a mind of its own. Please note: the air bag has only deployed once. However, I had two previous warnings.
While parking driver's side air bag inadvertently deployed without indication. *ak
Airbags damaged passengers unnecessarily.
Passenger side door hit by oncoming vehicle at 50-60 MPH. Impact primarily at 90 degree middle section of passenger front door. Airbag did not deploy. Pictures available. Problem: paid extra for this safety feature that apparently did not work in it's first application. Either a matter of product failure or fraud upon the consumer in that they are purchasing a safety feature that does not work in all instances. Mainly concerned with this occurring when a passenger is in this position as this passenger, if indeed had been present, would have most certainly been severely injured or fatal.
Suspension feels loose-found:left front strut leaking,strut mount loose ,link loose and noisy.replaced left front strut,strut mount and stabilizer link.realined front wheels.also,because air bag light on intermittently replaced passenger side impact sensor module due to a short. Dealer support was excellent and appreciated.
When traveling 35 MPH consumer was involved in a head-on collision in which neither driver's side nor passenger's side air bags deployed. Also the dollar amount of damage to the front end is over five thousand dollars. Please provide any further details.
While traveling at 65 MPH passenger's side air bag deployed, striking the passenger in the arm without warning. Cadillac has been contacted.
Car was stopped and at idle at traffic light. Right side door air bag deployed for no apparent reason hitting my wife in the side and giving her a large bruise about 3 inches in diameter. The car was repaired at tutwiler cadillac on july 29, 1999, 10101 n. Meridian st., indianapolis, in, phone no. 317 846-7888. I contacted the cadillac assistance center, and received no satisfactory answer as to why this happened. They would not let me talk to anyone who could explain. I did not feel safe driving this vehicle. I took it directly to ed martin cadillac in anderson, in and traded the car for another one (7/30/99) at my loss, as cadillac would not replace the car. As far a I know, the car is still at ed martin's.
