AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE WE TOOK A TRIP TO BIG BEAR WITH FRIENDS, TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THE CONNECTORS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WERE MELTED, GOT THE CONNECTORS CHANGED, AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED, AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. I OWN A RENTAL COMPANY AND I'M NOT ABLE TO RENT THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL FOR THE PAST YEAR, AND GM WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED.

TAKARA RECALL: IN 2015 MY CADILLAC ESCALADE WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND EXPLODED WITH A BUNCH OF SMOKE AND AWFUL SMELL IN THE AIR AND SOME DEBRIS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN HIT A MIDSIZE HONDA ACCORD HEAD ON. I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET. I WAS FAULTED SINCE I WAS REACHING FOR MY GPS NAVIGATION DEVICE THAT HAD FALLEN ON THE FLOOR. THE CAUSE FOR THE MALFUNCTION TO ME IS UNKNOWN. I WAS DEFINITELY INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT BUT I ONLY HAD LIABILITY INSURANCE AT THE TIME AND IT ONLY COVERED THE OTHER PARTY SINCE I WAS FAULTED. RECALL DATE:MAY 27, 2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER:2049151
TAKATA RECALL. IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL NOTIFICATION AND NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN OBTAINED. I'VE EXHAUSTED ALL EFFORTS TO RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS RECALL. IN 2016 & 2017 I ATTEMPTED TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE AT THE CADILLAC DEALERS. ACCORDING TO THE CADILLAC SALES PERSON, THEY ARE NOT TAKING ANY TRADE IN WITH THAT RECALL AND IF THEY DID IT WOULD BE AT A CONSIDERABLE VALUE REDUCTION. BASICALLY GIVING THE VEHICLE AWAY. I'M FORCED TO KEEP THIS DANGEROUS CAR AND IT'S BAD WORKMANSHIP.
AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY CONTINUE TO TELL US THAT THERE IS NO FIX. WE CAN NOT SELL THE VEHICLE AS THEIR IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON IT CURRENTLY AND WE CAN NOT DRIVE IT AS IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE.
THE DEALER STATES THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION OR PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. EARNHARDT CADILLAC, 7901 E FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BLVD, SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85260. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE CHAPTER 11 CASE NO. 17-11375 FOR TK HOLDINGS INC. ON THIS NOTICE, IT ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU IF THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR. PLEASE ADVISE.

AIR BAGS RECALLED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND STILL NOT FIXED.
TAKATA RECALL - GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE IN MAY, 2016 AND TO THIS DATE, DEALERS ARE STILL REPORTING NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. WE CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS AND WE'RE TOLD IT MAY BE SEVERAL MORE MONTHS BEFORE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE OR NHTSA CLOSES THE RECALL WITHOUT REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM IS WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRADE THE CAR IN ON A NEW VEHICLE, HOWEVER NO DEALERS WANT THE VEHICLE AS THEY CANNOT RESELL THEM WITH A PENDING RECALL AND NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. WHAT IS OUR RECOURSE IN MAKING A CLAIM WITH GM AGAINST THE AMOUNT THEY HAVE DEVALUED OUR VEHICLE?
