15 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2011

I have a Cadillac Cts 2006 and my air bag light came on for no reason. I took the car to the Cadillac dealer for diagnosis and they found out that the front sensor control module needs to be replaced. I called gm motors, because I found out the same sensor is recalled for Cadillac Cts models 2005-2006 and the campaign id # is 10v644000, however gm told me that my car is too old to honor the recall and they refuse to replace it. Here is the NHTSA campaign id number :10v644000 that stats: "non-deployment of the front passenger air bag in the event of a crash necessitating that air bag's deployment may reduce protection of the passenger and increase the risk or severity of injury to them. . . Dealers will replace the passenger sensing system free of charge. . Gm safety recall no. 100355" I am not sure why my car is too old for them and not qualifying for the recall since is the exact year for the recall 2006, the exact model - Cts, with the exact problem description for the recall. Please help and thank you for your time.

16 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2011

I have a 2006 Cadillac Cts,while on vacation I noticed my car needed to be inspected so I decided to get it inspected when I get to my destanation on my way in my (passanger side air bag light ) comes on when I take it to get inspected it failed so I took it to the nearest Cadillac dealer to have it checked out they wanted to charge me a 100 dollars to diagnose the problem I told them I would be back. I went online to see about resetting the light and a lot of recalls for this problem showed up I then called the Cadillac assistance 800 # talked to a few people they were aware of the rewcall but told me I have to wait and see if my car falls under the recall so I tried to get the number to the corp and they would'nt give it to me and told me they could'nt do anything for me now I have a rejacted inspection on my car and can not go to work you would think that if they are having so many complaints that they would do something about it. It appears to me that Cadillac does'nt care about the safety of the public and Cadillac owners what are they going to do about this problem.

19 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2010

A week after I purchased a 2006 Cadillac Cts in November, 2010, the service passenger airbag light came on. I took the vehicle back to the dealer (because I had purchased an extended warranty through them). They told me they ordered the part necessary and that it would be very expensive to fix it. I did some research and found out about a gm recall. Time has gone by and the problem still exists. I called the number given for the Cadillac division included in the article about the recall. The gentleman told me my vehicle (based upon my VIN number was not included in the recall. I told the gentleman that someone was to take care of the problem because if I had an accident and the bad did not deploy causing injury or death to my passenger, I would sue gm. I guess that got his attention because arrangements were made and my car is in the shop now being repaired. That gentleman issued a service request #71-926652841 and has called me back a couple of times. He keeps wanting me to say I am now satisfied. I will not be satisfied until the safety issue has been solved. Also, that gentleman has told me several times to not believe the things I find on the internet unless they are actually on the gm site. I got my information about the recall from the NHTSA site. And, in my opinion, that is an official site.

Airbag light illuminates due to defective module beneath passenger seat. Car has not been involved in an accident and only has 42,000 miles. Gm has already issued a recall on select model years for the same issue. Unfortunately the 2006 model is not yet included in the recall. It should be.

22 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/13/2009

Air bag light on. I call Cadillac and they advised me to take it immediately to the dealer. I ask the representative if they have received complaints on the same problem and he said a few. I asked him if its under warranty and he said that he will forward it to the warranty person who will handle my case. However, they will need a report from the dealer on the problem and if the dealer finds the part defective they will replace it at no cost to me. He connected me to the healey brothers the nearest dealer to my home. I made the appointment and before I made the appointment the dealer representative tried to informed me that if the car was not in a crash the part may be defective. The gm representative was still on the line and immediately cut off the dealer and stated you are to check the car and get back to me and we will handle it from there. I made the appointment & took the car on November 17, 2009. I had to pay the dealer for the diagnosis of $113. 29. They inspected the car in and out for any crash damage and they found none and commented on how well I take care of the car. They a computer checked and found failure code set b0092 for circuit malfunction traced to failure within the seat and must replace module to enable airbag system to work/operate. They gm customer assistance case # 71-776491182 and advice of repair needed and cost of $920. 93 and it did not include the $113. 00 that I paid for. I received a call a day later and the gm representative told me that the cars warranty expired however, they will offer me a resolution to me by reducing some of the labor repair and a maintenance package if I agree to absorb the rest of the cost. I explain that I should not absorb any cost. He stated let me speak to my boss and ill get back to you and ill call you back with a decision. I did not get a return call. I left a message to the gm representative justin pepper and have not received return calls since.

23 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/04/2009

I have a Cadillac Cts 2006 and my air bag light came on. I took the car to the Cadillac dealer for diagnosis and they found that the front sensor control module needs to be replaced. I contacted my extended warranty company and they explained that it was not covered under my policy. I paid a $100. 00 diagnosis fee but did not get the vehicle repaired because it was over $500. 00. Several months later I took the car in for routine maintanence and again had the look at the airbag light, again not repaired. I them read on this site the gm had recalled this model for the exact problems I was having. I called gm motors because the same sensor is recalled for Cadillac Cts models 2005-2006 and the campaign id # is 10v644000, however gm told me that my last diagnosis was too old so I had to pay again $100. 00 diagnostic fee to send to gm although I and the dealer knew what was wrong. Gm the refused to honor the recall. They stated that the recall was VIN specific and my VIN was not included in the recalled vehicles. The NHTSA campaign id number :10v644000 that stats: "non-deployment of the front passenger air bag in the event of a crash necessitating that air bags deployment may reduce protection of the passenger and increase the risk or severity of injury to them. . . Dealers will replace the passenger sensing system free of charge. . Gm safety recall no. 100355" I went forward and repaired it this time as I have paid 3 $100. 00 diagnostic fees. This is a way that gm is attempting to rip customers off. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

24 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2009

I had a 2006 Cadillac Cts. The air bag light came on three times in the first 18 months, it was a brand new car. I took it to dealer service dept, and they said they reset or fixed the problem. I had a car wreck a few months later following an ambulance with my daughter who was having chest pains. Someone started to come over in my lane and I swerved. Lost control and hit a bridge 4 times. Almost every panal was hit on my car as the bridge threw my car around. Not one air bag deployed. I was shaken up and sore, but not bleeding, so assumed I was okay. Now I am having back and neck problems and headaches. I have since learned that other Cts's had same problem but have not heard anything in news. I believe there should have been a recall. Why is the media not picked up on this like it is Toyota and Honda. Even though my crash did not result in death. I will have to live with pain and medicine and doctor visits. They should have looked into and fixed, when I had to keep bringing my car back.
