Airbag light on and says check airbags
My airbag light came on while driving and has remained on. It is on while idling and driving. It never goes off. There was no collision or anything to cause it to come on. I fear there might be something faulty happen while i drive. Also i've been having issues fueling my 2005 escalade.it will only let me put in $1.00 maybe $1.50 at a time and the pump will kick off. I've even had gas spill out while this is occurring. The gas spill has happened twice and the fuel tank was almost empty. So it wasn't overfill.also, my air conditioner, at times will just get hot while driving.if i stop and turn off the vehicle and turn it back on, the air will return to cold.and it smells like burning wires. I have been routinely looking to see if there is a recall on this vehicle through this website.

Two exhaust manifold bolts have sheared off causing an exhaust leak on both sides of the engine where the exhaust manifold meets the engine. This will possibly lead to emissions failure and high repair cost for me the owner. It will also harm the environment by the exhaust exiting prior to going through the catalytic converter or muffler. Internet research shows this is a widespread problem and needs to be addressed. This should be a recall.
Failure of exhaust manifold bolts, dealer says not covered under extended warranty....this is a dangerous situation, obviously this is a design defect and should be looked into....after researching on the internet this is a big problem that gm is ignoring.
I purchased my car used from a dealership in 2009 and i now have the following problems with it.a check engine light that will not go out, the error states the fuel cap is not tight and no matter how much i tightened it never goes away.when fueling the car fuel will overflow if not paying attention.also the the shift lever position is no longer illuminated so i am not sure which position the car is in most of the time i have to listen and gauge it before trying to put it in gear.i never received an communications that the car was under recall but from what i am seeing from the nhtsa website these are the problems that i am now having.
I have two cracked exhaust manifold bolts. I have read that thousands of similar vehicles have this same condition.i have an intermittent check engine light that it won't pass emissions.i am also worried of where it is located, that it may cause a fire.i would think gm should have an obligation to fix this defect due to the epa violation & safety risk that it posses.

I have a 2005 cadillac escalade 6.0l engine, with 88,000 miles on it. I had a ticking sound investigated by a local mechanic and he found 3 exhaust manifold bolts, two on one side and one on the other, had spontaneously broken.he indicated before he lifted the hood thatwas the problem because "that was a common problem with the 6.0l engine".i checked with cadillac owners group and edmunds car space and readily found several similar complaints with the 6.0l gm engine.this should never happen and could lead to an engine compartment fire and/or the leakage of exhaust gases into the same.i had all of the manifold bolts replaced.they didn't appear to be excessively corroded, but rather, the heads of the 3 failed bolts appear to have just popped off.i have the bolts that were removed and replaced.this problem is somewhat insidious because it can mimic the sound that a bad lifter might make.i contacted cadillac customer service and filed a complaint.they offered no recourse.
