The contact owns a 2008 Cadillac Escalade. While driving 5 mph through a parking lot, the driver and passenger frontal air bags deployed without impact or warning. There were no injuries. The contact had to cut out the air bags in order to drive the vehicle. The contact drove to the dealer (flow Cadillac, 1400 S stratford rd, winston salem, nc 27103) and was informed to take the vehicle to the insurance company. The insurance company would not assist since a crash was not involved. The contact drove the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to keep the vehicle at the dealer and they would send someone to investigate the air bag deployment. In the interim, the dealer provided the contact with a loaner vehicle. The vehicle was at the dealer since January 25, 2018. NHTSA campaign number: 16V383000 (air bags) was referenced. The failure mileage was 86,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
