Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2005 Cadillac CTS

Takata recall had wreck air bag did not deploy at the time it should have, rush in ambulance to hospital car was on highway going straight,.

I have a Cadillac Cts for about two years now and just a couple of days ago the airbag light came on that it needed to be serviced and I took it to a dealer and they told me it was the passenger air bag that it would cost me approx: 649. 38 dollars and I have seen where some of the Cadillac Cts have been recalled for the same problem and the dealer repaired some of the recalled cars but the dealer advised me not to drive it due to that if we had a crash the air bags may not deploy and I have no other vechile to drive I have a wife and three kids that ride in this car and I cant afford to have the service performed I just want to know how can they perform recalls on certian vechiles is it so they will fix half of them and the other half would have to pay to get the service done to help make up for the money they lost due to the recall also I have a car the dealer dont want me to drive I have babies and doctor appts that they have to be taken to. And if I was to have to take my kids to a doc appt and someone hit me and the airbags didnt deploy and someone got killed I pray not but who to say it wouldnt be a lawsuit because some are recalled and some not and now they want to charge a arm and a leg to get the problem resolved I dont think its fair we should have to pay for a problem like this plus how can we afford it whenever our wonderful state pays us minimum wage and the cost of living is outrageous.

Vehicle stopped detecting person sitting in passenger front seat. Passenger airbag remains off when there is a passenger. Service message appears on dash stating to service airbag. This is a safety issue that could cause the front passenger airbag to not deploy in an accident. There is a recall on 2005-2007 Cadillac Cts models however, there is no recall on mine for some reason. There is nothing that could have caused this issue other than faulty equipment that should be recognized by gm.

I was involved in a serious head on collision with an oncoming car. My car was severely damaged and no air bags deployed causing me to get 10 stitches, a fractured nose, neck, back, chest and abdominal pain. The air bags were serviced less than a year ago at the specific brand car dealer but this did not help. This was not the first time the air bags did not deploy. There were no stop signs or traffic signals to prevent this and also the double yellow lines in the middle of the intersection seem to be at fault. If the driver of both sides stays next to it the cars will hit each other.

4/12/2010 - I was slowing down preparing to turn into my development when another driver ran a stop sign. The other driver was going approximately 20 mph, she stated that she did not see my car, but saw the oncoming cars and the cars behind me so she didn't prepare to stop at the stop sign. She was trying to beat the oncoming vehicles and the traffic behind me aggressively accelerating and impact was my driver's side front door. We both had our seat belts on, her air bags deployed, mine did not. Her car was totaled. The impact was just like a wrecking ball coming out of nowhere. The impact was so that my struts had to be replaced. I had sustained traumatic brain injury (tbi) and I'm still recovering, that is why it's taken this long to submit a complaint. My car was towed to the Cadillac body shop for the body work and tutwiler was to take care of the mechanical issues. When I picked up my car at tutwiler Cadillac they would not provide me any of the paperwork for the repairs or anything in writing as to why the air bags did not deploy, I was told that the itemized receipt would go to her insurance company since they were paying for the work to be done. The chiropractor bill was in excess of 7,000. 00 and my medical (still recovering) but has exceeded well over 40,000. 00. The electrical issues, bad radio, carpet, bell housing leak, exhaust system, gas gauge should have all been repaired under warranty when I took the car in on 1/5/2009 while the car was still under warranty. I was not aware of the air bag issue not deploying unfortunately until the accident in April of 2010.
