What owners wrote

The airbag system failed and was reported the first time in 2020 and it was available for inspection upon request by owner but Cadillac said it wasn't a recall and refused to comply. My safety and the other passenger was put at risk because Cadillac didn't inspect the the fail system upon the owner's upon the owner's first request that caused serious injuries and the vehicle has been in another incident.
