I was in an accident with my 2013 cadillac, suffering a severed lip, requiring 24 stitches in my botyomlip, lost tooth, and suffered neck and back pain due to airbags not deploying.
I was driving along highway 70 downtown st louis when all the sudden all 4 ceiling/curtain airbags went off only, no other airbags deployed, just the ones stated. i pulled the vehicle off the highway. i was able to drive the vehicle back to my house where it remains. this incident happened on the evening of october 19, 2019. i just purchased this vehicle 3 weeks ago. the dealership is closed on sundays where i purchsed it. there is no body damage to the vehicle, like i said the airbags just went off for no reason.
Takata, service air bag is on across stereo console & light on dash. it came on within last 4 weeks while driving & after a bump in road. won't go off. deeply concerned. also driver power seat module doesn't work to raise not great for someone short.
Air bag light has came on. while vehicle was in motion driving on the highway the passenger rear window came down on it's own and would not roll back up. my car only have 60,000 miles.
Over 1 year ago (july 2016) i was notified of a safety recall of airbag inflators can degrade in hot humid areas. i live in texas where it's currently over 105 degrees. the notification states i will be notified when parts are available. now i see a year later there is no remedy for this problem.
