Dealer says cadillac will not pay for replacement even though they are aware of the problem and sensor had been replaced twice previously.

My wife had an accident a few years ago and the air bags did not deploy. We were told that the air bag did not deploy because it was not a direct frontal collision. Recently we had to take our car to the dealership because the check engine light stayed on. Also every once and a while the air bag light would bleak and go off. It ended up being the electronic control module $446.00 to repair. The dealership stated that this needed to be repaired right a way because the air bags would not deploy.
