Cadillac Catera Problems by year

Passenger side "curtain" airbag in seat went off while my car was stopped and engine not running with no cause or impact while not close to anything in a parking lot.

I got in my car, 2000 cadillac catera which was stationary in a parking lot and closed the driver door at the same time reaching back to get seat belt and "bang" an exploding sound. The driver side seat air back exploded, in a parking spot. Causing, lesions, and contusions, on the left arm, and a sprain wrist. Also, scrape and bruising of side, rib area. Also, my boyfriend was in the passenger's seat and he suffered an asthma attack from the dust.

Oil cooler gave out causing car to overheat. Has there been a recall? If yes, what is the process for a claim? *Tt

While traveling an 8 mile trip to my mothers traveling at a speed of 45 miles per hour the speedometer just stopped working and the steering seemed to tighten up a little bit the next time I drove the car the steering was hard to maneuver and its almost as if the power steering is not functioning properly. I had the power steering looked at and it is fine the oil light is now on 24/7 but the oil level is fine and was just recently changed. This car should have never been produced by cadillac it is nothing but a disgrace to the name. *Tr

I was leaving my house and driving out of my complex when the steering wheel locked up on me. I have been unable to turn it for two days. *Tr

The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic where the engine gaskets, belts and the water pump were replaced. However, the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 89,000. Updated 01/09/14*lj
