2 Air Bag problem of the 2010 Cadillac DTS

Failure Date: 01/06/2023

The vehicle "service airbag " warning keeps flashing. Should I keep driving this vehicle, is my safety and the safety of other drivers at risk? I've reported this to the GMC dealers in my local area, but the want to charge me $125. 00 to $169. 00 dollars to perform a diagnostic. My concern is for safety of myself and others. Can this problem be fixed at a minimal or no price.

6 Air Bag problem of the 2006 Cadillac DTS

Failure Date: 10/21/2014

Today I had the gm recall 14299 performed on my Cadillac Dts at my local Cadillac dealership. The repair took about 1 hour and the car was returned to me with the instructions from the dealership that one key had a "clamp" on it and if I removed the "clamp" and the new key insert did not stay in place that they would need to "figure something out". I waited an hour for the glue to dry and attempted to remove the "clamp" and the insert was adhered to the clamp as it appeared residual glue had stuck to the face of the insert and the underneath slide of the clamp. I then went to put a key chain on my gm valet key and the insert popped out of place on that key as well. I have not yet contacted the gm dealership, but this recall repair is very troubling as it does not appear that this repair will have the longevity needed to stay in place and protect the consumer. I have photos of the keys if needed.

8 Air Bag problem of the 2007 Cadillac DTS

Failure Date: 11/07/2012

My battery constantly goes dead, everytime it rains, snows or even gets cold. I brought a brand new battery and a brand new alternator and it still does the same thing. The air-bag message keeps coming up along with every electrical component there is on this car. I have taken it to dealerships to get diagnostics and they never find anything wrong. This is not safe for my kids to ride in please advise.
