Cadillac issued a safety recall for 1998 & 1999 sedan Devilles in sept. 2000 relating to the possible unintended activiation of the driver's and passenger side air bags and the risk of injury or death as a result. I purchased a '98 sedan Deville on oct. 6, 2000 and the ettleson Cadillac salesman at no time told me the vehicle was subject to a safety recall and that we might be in danger driving the car. Until the sensor modules were replaced. I drove 1,200 miles back to colorado and did not learn of the danger until two weeks later through articles in the new york times and wall street journal. When I wrote the salesman asking why he did not warn me he declared--hard to believe--that he was unaware of any safety recall. (I would not have bought the car in that condition, of course, and he probably realized that. ) when I wrote ettleson's general manager, larry smolinski, to complain about his dealership selling a defective vehicle without warning me of the possible danger, smolinski did not bother to reply to my letter. How would a government agency respond if walmart were to sell toasters that were a known fire hazard and not even warn its customers? if a recall were ordered for a dangerous toy could toys r us continue to sell it? this dealership should be reprimanded by your agency for this dangerous practice.
