1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2004 Cadillac Deville

Failure Date: 12/15/2017

Takata recall. One day was driving all was well it had just sprinkled before IA left home. Roads were whet I slowed down to cross rr tracks when increased gas tires slipped or spun a lil,from bumps on tracks and acceleration made numerous sensors I think got faulty. Suspension traction, service engine soon,, abs, and air bag. I reset information control center. But with in 3 mins after you take off they all light up again abs I just changed brake pads 4 months ago there still under warranty. Going with ceramic this time. I also have 2 psi sensors out. Neither back window goes down one needs motor the other on the regulator a plastic clip that keeps it inline is worn out. I figured that out. But idk why all them safety warnings came on and why I cannot get traction control to ever go off? just find it weird happened all at once car still starts and runs fine. I'm just worried I think air bag needs to be recharged or inspected. My plan is to restore it needs minor repairs but dealerships is a rip off. If I can find where these electrical sensors are I will do it my self. They ridiculously over charge for everything. I was crossing rail road tracts at a slight angle. Cause unknown.

I called again on 2-19-2015 spoke with another rep. Still got the same answer. Basically I was told that the recall was closed out in 2001. When I asked both reps.

6 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2001 Cadillac Deville

Failure Date: 01/09/2006

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. If it was not for the check engine light staying on we could have had an accident not knowing that there was a defect with the restraint system.
