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 would drive the catera right on the main busy road my car made a suicidal stop! I panic! Immediately put the emergency hazardous lights on. I took it to the mechanic and he said he is reading the sensor are bad, so i spent over $300.00 dollars replacing them, i continue to have the car stop in the middle of the road, i have been very lucky that i have not been hit or in a serious accident. Again i took the car to the mechanic a different person this time. He said; it was the manifold intake, they are plastic and they crack or bend when the car engine heats, the mechanic and i looked for different junkyards to our surprise most of the cadillac of that made the very piece we were looking for was missing. (plastic air take and the hose) it does not take a rock scientist to know that there is a serious problem with putting a plastic intake inside a engine that holds a lot of heat. Specially for me i live in a year around hot weather. I went to different auto part stores to find the part because the junkyard was out of the question what i did find all the auto parts store had nothing good to say about this car. It has a bad reputation this beautiful dream cadillac caterea is the bad apples of the cadillac, it is ashamed you don't have a recall on these cars. It looks like it cheaper to stop making them than to fix the problem. The problem i see they are still out in the street. Unfortunately i have one. I called gm and they would not help me because i did not buy the car from them or have i repaired the car with them. But is thier car model. Don't get it. They gave birth to defective cars now they want us to fix the problem. *tr
