Cadillac issued a safety recall for 1998 & 1999 sedan Deville in Sept. 2000 relating to the possible unintended activation of the driver's and passenger side air bags and the risk of injury or death as a result. I purchased a '98 sedan Deville on Oct. 6, 2000 and the ettleson Cadillac salesman at no time told me the vehicle was subject to a safety recall and that we might be in danger driving the car. Until the sensor modules were replaced. I drove 1,200 miles back to Colorado and did not learn of the danger until two weeks later through articles in the New York times and wall street journal. When I wrote the salesman asking why he did not warn me he declared--hard to believe--that he was unaware of any safety recall. (I would not have bought the car in that condition, of course, and he probably realized that.) when I wrote ettleson's general manager, larry smolinski, to complain about his dealership selling a defective vehicle without warning me of the possible danger, smolinski did not bother to reply to my letter. How would a government Agency respond if walmart were to sell toasters that were a known fire hazard and not even warn its customers" if a recall were ordered for a dangerous toy could toys R us continue to sell it" this dealership should be reprimanded by your Agency for this dangerous practice.
