#10410431 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | | 96,000 miles Crash 2 Injuries
PURCHASED 2003 CADILLAC DHS FROM COAST CADILLAC, THE NEXT MONTH WE HAD TO GET A NEW ENGINE FROM RANCHO MOTORS. LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THAT WE HAD TO GET A NEW COMPUTER. MY HUSBAND HAD A CAR ACCIDENT ON JULY 4, 2009 WHERE HE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AAA ADJUSTER CAME TO DIAMOND CAR COLLISION IN HESPERIA AND STATED THE CAR WAS NOT TOTALED. I REQUESTED A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT TOTAL THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2007 WHERE IT WAS REAR ENDED AND SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE. NOW THE SENSOR IS NOT SENDING A SIGNAL TO ENGINE COOLING FAN AND THE CAR RUNS HOT. NOONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS WE SMELL A STRONG SCENT OF FUEL OR FUMES. THE RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK HAS PROBLEMS. THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED ON NUMERIOUS OCCASIONS. WE HAD TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION TWICE AND THE MOTOR MOUNT IS NOT LEVELED PROPERLY FROM REPAIRS OF JULY 4, 2009. GAS MILEAGE INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO DEPT OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS AND FILING A COMPLAIT AGAINST AAA INSURANCE. THEY REPAIRED THE VEHIICLE TWICE AND KNEW OF THE SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAGS YET WERE NOT WILLING TO TOTAL CAR. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ONGOING PROPLEMS SINCE WE PURCHASED VEHICVLE AND ACCIDENTS THAT OCCURED. MY HUSBAND WAS NOT AT FAULT BUT WE SUSTAINED INURIES DURING THE ACCIDENT. ALSO DEPT OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR WANTED TO COME INSPECT BUT OWNER TALKED MY HUSBAND INTO DROPPING THE CLAIM I REPORTED AND TOLD HIM HE WOULD DO EXTRA WORK IF HE DIDNT CALL. I FEEL THAT THEIR HAS BEEN SOME FRAUDULENT INCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURED DURING OUR LIFETIME WITH THE 2003 DHS VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND IS DISABLED AND WE CAN NOT AFFORD A VEHICLE AND ALL REPAIRS. *KB
