45 Air Bag problem of the 2010 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 11/10/2014

I just brought this SUV sept. 2014. Last week I was going around a curve. The rear end swerved and the tires rolled over the curve. The air bags deployed and the car stopped, the car was towed to a Cadillac dealer. ( weeks before I found out about the recall on the air bags, seat, suspension and seat belt. ) so, when I told the adjustor about the recall he just brushed it off and said," it's not the recall. ". I don't think the adjustor worked for an outside company. I need to get my car independently checked so I can find out if it was the recall items. How could my air bags deploy from going over the curve? the car has no damage. . . None! I think the dealer does not want to fix the recalled items or they fixed them wrong. Because my driver seat was making some crazy sounds the weeks before the airs bags came out. Plus, I told the dealer and he said all the work was done to the car. I think their lying. . . . Is there a government place I can have the car checked or can you send someone? can you please help me? thank you for your time.

46 Air Bag problem of the 2011 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 10/23/2014

I was turning south with a green arrow when the second driver ran a red light traveling east and we collided. He was traveling at approximately 40-45 miles per hour and I was traveling at approximately 30 miles an hour. Our impact was somewhat of a t-incident with the front end of my car damaged and his car on the driver's side damaged. My air bags did not inflate, even though we believe the impact was at the angle and the required speed of vehicles to inflate them. The air bags in the second driver's car (Ford focus) did inflate.

At 9:00 pm et on 20-Nov-2012 I was driving 20 minutes to my home from my in-laws at ~30 mph in monroe, ohio when my airbags malfunctioned. The car was towed to camargo Cadillac’s body shop for repairs the morning of 21-Nov-2012. Both a specialist from state farm (my insurance) and the inspector hired by gm declared that the airbags malfunctioned. Gm’s representative inspected the vehicle on 03-Dec-2012 and the report was received at gm on 12-Dec-2012. It was not until 19-Dec-2012 that gm approved paying for the repairs. Gm would not state what error occurred that caused the airbags to malfunction. My car was under warranty until 100,000 miles and had ~ 76,000 miles on it at the time of the accident. It took ~2 months for the repairs total. No apologies were made by gm for stress or for putting my life at risk. I am thankful no one else was affected by the accident, as I was driving alone and did not lose control of my vehicle. Representatives from gm and camargo stated they are unaware of previous airbag malfunctions in gm vehicles. Below are links to 2 articles which report about gm airbags malfunctioning. . Read more...
