NHTSA Complaint #10660265 — 2008 CADILLAC STS

I HAD THIS CAR SERVICED AT GOLD COAST CADILLAC, OAKHURST, N.J. ON MARCH 25, 2013 AND THE MILEAGE WAS 42,951. SINCE MY WIFE DOES NOT DRIVE MUCH ANYMORE, WE DO NOT USE THIS CAR VERY MUCH AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE MILEAGE. ON OR ABOUT NOVEMBER 13, 2014 I GOT INTO THE CAR AND WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE THE DISPLAY SAID "SERVICE AIR BAG". SINCE I FELT THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAGS, I EMAILED A LETTER TELLING GM ABOUT MY PROBLEM. I RECEIVED A FOLLOW UP CALL FROM SOME WOMEN REPRESENTING GM. I TOLD HER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND SHE TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I GUESS NEITHER WERE ALL THE GM CARS THAT HAD DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCHES. I TOLD HER THAT THIS CAR HAD NEVER BEEN TOUCHED BY ANOTHER CAR (ACCIDENT) AND IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST SCRATCH ON IT AND I DID NOT WANT TO GO TO THE DEALER AND HAVE HIM CHARGE ME $600.00 TO REPAIR AN AIR BAG THAT HAD A DEFECT IN IT. I DID NOT WANT TO CHANCE BEING CHARGED A LOT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT. I AM WRITING YOU TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE ARE MILLIONS OF AIR BAGS THAT ARE DEFECTIVE AND I THINK I HAVE A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG AND GM SHOULD INSPECT IT AND FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. PLEASE PUT THIS IN YOUR RECORDS FOR POSSIBLE RECALLS OF AIR BAGS IN GM CARS. THANK YOU, *TR
