On my 2006 Cadillac Cts, I experienced a defect in the passenger frontal airbag. This occurred in August, 2009. I took the vehicle to the local Cadillac dealer and the problem was supposedly corrected. Now seven months later, the same defect light is coming on indicating the problem is occurring again. This is definitely a safety problem because the airbag may not deploy in an accident or may deploy while driving. The vehicle was under warranty when the first incident occurred but is now out of warranty. We are senior citizens with very limited income and are now told we must pay for the correction of this problem. I am concerned about driving the vehicle with my spouse as a passenger until we can get the vehicle repaired. Please let me know if I have any options under the safety defect act.
I was driving the vehicle and was hit from behind and went into a curb. My airbags did not deploy and the car would not restart. The engine completely shut off. The car continue to have problems with the engine and smoking after it was repaired by a gm dealer. We had to turn the car in and file bankruptcy after it stopped working.
