We have been notified many times over the past 5=6 years that the air bags were defective. After many calls with the same answer we don't know what to do. We are told there is a problem but no remedy. We recently tried to sell the car but since it had the air bag problem, the value was greatly impacted. It feels like we are driving a ticking time bomb and no one at cadillac or gmc cares about this problem.

The truck was in motion on street and on freeway, the speed drops and it feels like it's going to cut off. The windows will not go up or down, the radio shuts off and, all the dashboard lights are on. This has happened at least 3 separate times (twice this year) different dates. There should be 3 pictures shown of that. -last week the vehicle would not start, the battery is 1 yr. Old- good, the radio would not come on, interior lights all worked. Towed to a shop diagnostic was the passenger airbag modular. The airbag light still won't go off. -when the vehicle was purchased in 2015 the service suspension alert was on, the dealer (suburban cadillac in sterling heights, mi) said "don't worry about it right now", this year there the truck started making a buzzing noise. Every mechanic diagnosis something different. Of course the warranty ran out before it started.
