'takata recall' i was driving my 1995 cadillac seville out of a shop-rite parking lot on september 30th, 2017 and was involved in a crash. I was driving very slowly as i was approaching a stop sign and route 46 (a busy highway). My airbags deployed inadvertently and i hit the car in front of me. The airbags smashed the windshield.according to nhtsa campaign number 98v115000, 1995 cadillac seville 'passenger vehicles inadvertent deployment of the airbags can occur due to water intrusion.' i then contacted general motors who stated that my particular vehicle was not subject to the recall. They performed an investigation and informed me that they would not assist me with the repairs but refused to give me a reason. According to the nhtsa website: 'frontal airbags are generally designed to deploy in 'moderate/severe' frontal or near-frontal crashes, which are defined as crashes that are equivalent to hitting a solid, fixed barrier at 8-14 mph or higher. (this would be equivalent to striking a parked car of similar size at about 16-28 mph or higher.)'since i was going much slower than 8-14 mph, i believe my car should have been included in this recall and gm is not taking responsibility. Is there anything you can do to assist me or advise me?

After driving the car for approximately six months, i began to detect a faint odor of gasoline which seemed to be coming from under the hood. I kept detecting this odor off and on for the next few months. Then one day i was surprised and confused to see my gas gauge moving steadily toward empty as i drove along. I thought the gauge was broken, but it was not. Instead, in about two miles, i had jettisoned an entire tank of gasoline as i drove. The problem turned out to be a ruptured plastic line leading to one of the fuel injectors. Since that time, each of the fuel lines has ruptured one by one every 2 - 10 months for five years. Then i learned there was a recall. I have seen the recall letter which states all 1995 cadillac sevilles have this problem, and mine certainly does. The dealer and gm say my car is not on the recall list. I have filed a formal complaint with gm and they still refuse to fix my car, stating that my vin# doesn't show up on their list.
