Car was stopped and at idle at traffic light. Right side door air bag deployed for no apparent reason hitting my wife in the side and giving her a large bruise about 3 inches in diameter. The car was repaired at tutwiler Cadillac on July 29, 1999, 10101 n. Meridian st. , indianapolis, in, phone no. 317 846-7888. I contacted the Cadillac assistance center, and received no satisfactory answer as to why this happened. They would not let me talk to anyone who could explain. I did not feel safe driving this vehicle. I took it directly to ed martin Cadillac in anderson, in and traded the car for another one (7/30/99) at my loss, as Cadillac would not replace the car. As far a I know, the car is still at ed martin's.
Airbags damaged passengers unnecessarily.
