The contact owns a 2007 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the passenger's side air bag was deactivated while occupied by a passenger. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

"service air bag" light came on in 2021 after pss mat being replaced in 2011 recall #10355 rendering the entire air bag system ( both driver and passenger) inactive. Vehicle currently in dealership for repair for the second time for the same issue. Dealership reported both airbags inoperable while "service air bag" light is on creating a safety issue if vehicle is driven until repaired.

The seller lied about everything! the first question I asked was if the car was in an accident. He bragged about being a mechanic, and doing all the work on the car, so everything in the car is in, "tip top shape. " he replied, "no, never!" he did not allow us to ride the car on the interstate before the purchase, claiming it was illegal. 10 mins after leaving the car lot, the car cuts off and is unable to crank back up. The seller meets us and claims it the battery. A "new" battery was placed in the vehicle, but the problem persists. My fianc�, who is not a mechanic, told him more than once, that the problem was not the battery, but the alternator. He got the car to crank. As we are riding down the interstate, the car cuts off, and we are left aimlessly rolling and are unable to control the wheel. Plus, the electricity in the car is off so we can't even turn on our hazard lights to caution the other cars on the road. After speaking to the seller, once again, he tells us there is nothing he can do about it and will not cancel the deal. We've only had the car for 4-5 hours. After speaking to several mechanics, they quickly confirm that the alternator is the problem and anybody that claims to be a mechanic can see the problem immediately. They also inform us the car has been wrecked and should have not been resold for safety measures. Driving this vehicle almost cost us our lives.

I was involved in a crash that when hit the vehicle turned off and airbags did not work. I was hit twice on driver rear and passenger rear, spun out and no airbags deployed. I was crossing over a city road from a stop sign, was hit at 60 mph. I was doing 20 mph going straight across from the stop sign.

The service air bag light has been on for several years. I called a few years ago and was told it was a recall and Cadillac would stand by it. It would not expire I took it to the Cadillac place. They would not honor it.

My car has moments where I have to slam hard on the. Rakes for it to stop. I thought it was my brakes but I had them changed and it still does it and flashes a sign that says �no traction control�. Also my left turn signal does not work on the inside as if there's a mechanical glitch. And I have a �service aitbag code� constantly.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Cadillac Cts. After starting the engine, the "service air bag" message displayed and remained illuminated. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer (autonation Cadillac, 2101 45th st, west palm beach, FL) were notified, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 26,000.

Was driving and service brake assist message came on two days ago along with the abs t/c light on the dash. I had no idea what it meant so I've kept driving. About an hour ago I was getting ready to park into my garage and the brakes would not work and I almost crashed into a parked car. Again the service brake assist light came on. I'm 7 months pregnant and this is my only transportation. I'm not looking to get into an accident due to my brakes failing. My service air bags message also comes up and even with a passenger in the car it doesn't state that the passenger air bag is on. I am pretty sure both of these issues were part of a recall but I hadn't owned the car during that time. As of now this car is a fatal accident waiting to happen and I'm unsure as to why there isn't still an open recall to address this brake failure issue.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated that the front passenger air bag had seized. The dashboard displayed "passenger air bag off" .

Air bag defect light remains on for the passenger seat detector.

One day when I went to sit in the front passenger seat a message came on the driver information center displaying, "service air bag" and then I notice that the indicator light on the dash was displaying the air bag warning light, and the rearview mirror was showing that the passenger air bag was off. Without the air bag working I cannot ride in the front seat of the car and due to the fact that if we are in a car accident the air bag will not deploy. The dealer has been able to reproduce this issue several times over the last 13 years. Yes, I have been dealing with this issue since 2012, every time I ask to have the seat diagnosed, they say "no we will not be doing that for you" - [xxx] and [xxx] . Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

After purchase of my Cts, I noticed the brakes screeching and pulsing. I've had my brakes redone 3 times and I still have squeaking and pulsing issues. I took my car to a cadillas dealer after they had charged me $600 for a brake pad only job to check my brakes as they were still pulsing when stopping on uneven pavement, and they kept if for a day and told me my brakes were fine even though they were still pulsing. They charged me $85 for looking at my brakes which was a rip off since I still have the problem. Air bags, I took my car in for the air bag recall repair. Within a year I have the same problem. They clearly are not fixing the problem. My cadillas is beautiful but I fear it may cost me my life one day if cadillas doesn't step up and expose these problems and make the repairs.
