AIR BAGS
THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 2/26/2010. THE SAID THE SEAT WEIGHT SENSING MODULE WAS BAD AND OFFERED TO REPAIR IT AT ABOUT $611.00. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I CALLED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 2/22/2011 AFTER DISCOVERING RECALL # 10V644000. I SPOKE TO A MAN NAMED JOHN WHO SAID THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THAT VIN, AND REFUSED TO HELP OR TO REFER ME TO A SUPERVISOR. SIMILARLY, AROUND THE SAME TIME, I HAD TO HAVE THE ECU RE-FLASHED AT A COST OF$110.00, BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SHUDDERING UNDER ACCELERATION. I GOT THE SAME ANSWER, EVEN THOUGH I ADVISED THEM OF RECALL #06V020000, THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A DELIBERATE EFFORT BY CADILLAC NOT TO AVOID PERFORMING RECALLS. I REQUEST THAT THIS VIN BE INCLUDED IN THE ABOVE REFERENCED RECALLS, AND THAT CADILLAC'S PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR BE INVESTIGATED.
