2000 Cadillac Deville airbags problems

Filed Oct 8, 2018 · Airbags · 218,000 miles · WV

Airbag light stays on at all times. Car will not pass inspection. I had to park car and no longer drive even though I put a new engine in it and had the transmission rebuilt in 2013. Dealer says there is no recall on airbag system for my car.

Air bag warning light comes on. After doing some research on the internet it seems to be related to a wiring problem underneath the driver's seat. I confirmed this by moving the seat which causes the light to come on or go out. Since this is a safety related problem which might inactivate the air bags, I believe that this should be handled by a recall notice by gm and the burden to repair the loose wire connection should fall upon gm. Thanks.

My complaint is about the remedy for recall #14v355.the july 2, 2014 letter to [xxx] re:the federal safety agency notification campaign no. 14v‑355 from [xxx] , gm, states on page 3 that "the torque performance of the ignition system may be insufficient to resist energy generated when the vehicle goes off road or experiences some other jarring event". This is the same ignition switch that gm hid from the public for years which resulted in 196 claims for death, 116 catastrophic injuries and 1,460 other injuries. Instead of replacing the faulty ignition switch for the recall, your organization is allowing gm to block the key from being placed on a key ring with house keys, the remote fob that comes with the vehicle to operate door locks, seat positioning, trunk release and panic alarm. And the gm provided cadillac medallion that is used to return the key to me if it becomes lost. Most people need to keep house keys on the car key ring, and the fob is integral to using the vehicle. The recall fix being allowed by your agency is dangerous and wrong. Subsequent owners of the vehicles will not know about the recall and pop the little piece of plastic out of the key hole and attach all of their keys on one key ring. For current owners, this takes away one of the functions of the vehicle, the fob usage and makes life more difficult having to keep track of a single car key and their key ring with essential keys on it. According to the washington post, gm knew about the defect and changed the ignition switch part in newer vehicles using the same part number to avoid a recall as people were injured and died. Gm's fix leaves my car with its defective ignition switch which is still subject to catastrophic failure. Who are you protecting? Gm? Not me and I am terrified. I want my ignition switch replaced with one that is properly designed and manufactured for the safe use of my vehicle.
