I owned a 2003 CTS. My wife was driving it and for some reason she became unconcious. Still do not know why. The car traveled approxamately 300 ft. It then hit a tree. The air bag never deployed. I had the car in the shop several times before this because the throttle body control malfunctioned. The last time it malfunctioned the air bag light came on. The time before that the Cadillac garage stated the wiring harness was bad. Called the warranty Co. and they ststed that the wire harness was ok. I believe the air bag problems go back to 2003. The crash site reconstruction officer also stated that this problem raised a RED FLAG to him. I am going to pursue this further and find out why the air bag did not deploy. People beware.
