Air bag alert says service air bags this should be covered as many of these bags have been recalled. Second problem: When turning off the ignition, it keeps dinging and says put car in park even though it is in park. This dinging noise lasts maybe 10 seconds to a minute. Sometimes shifting or putting foot on brake again stops the dinging.
My airbag light is on and it remains on the passenger side and they want to charge me over a $1000 to fix it. This occurs while in motion and stationery. My car does a hard jerk when stopping on brakes it jerks from the rear end.
The information window under my speedometer warned me to check the driver side air bag. It then went off about 2 days later. I warned me again in the middle of April, beginning of may and May 22nd. I did not drive my car today (5/23) so I don't know if the warning is still on. If it is I will write again.

I had this car serviced at gold coast Cadillac, oakhurst, N.J. on March 25, 2013 and the mileage was 42,951. Since my wife does not drive much anymore, we do not use this car very much as you can see by the mileage. On or about November 13, 2014 I got into the car and when I started the engine the display said "service air bag". since I felt that this was a problem that should be addressed by GM because of all the problems with air bags, I emailed a letter telling GM about my problem. I received a follow up call from some women representing GM. I told her about the problem and she told me my car was not on the recall list. I guess neither were all the GM cars that had defective ignition switches. I told her that this car had never been touched by another car (accident) and is in pristine condition without the slightest scratch on it and I did not want to go to the dealer and have him charge me $600 to repair an air bag that had a defect in it. I did not want to chance being charged a lot of money for something that was not my fault. I am writing you to tell you about this problem since there are millions of air bags that are defective and I think I have a defective air bag and GM should inspect it and fix it free of charge. Please put this in your records for possible recalls of air bags in GM cars. Thank you,

2008 Cadillac Sts air bag indicator light has a malfunction. The consumer stated when his 100lb wife sat in the passenger seat, the air bag light sometimes stayed on, but most times it was off. The dealer has tried to fix the problem 3 times. The dealer replaced the entire seat which still did not resolve the problem. Finally, they said nothing was wrong. The dealer sent the consumer a GM flyer that explained the computer in the vehicle made the decision as to when the air bag light should be on.
