In December of 2010 there was a recall for the passenger side air bag sensor. That recall was completed on July 7, 2011. I bought this used car with very low mileage on June 15, 2013. On August 7, 2015 the air bag sensor went out. The dealership said that since the recall had already been done they would not do it for free a second time. It sounds to me like the recall was replaced with a faulty part as well. I am very disappointed with this Cadillac and will never buy another one. I have had nothing but problems since I drove it off the lot.
Our car is experiencing an issue with the passenger side airbag, which matches exactly the description and symptoms in NHTSA campaign id 10v644000 and gm safety recall 100355. The gm dealers keep saying our VIN doesn't match the plant where the cars with the problem airbags were manufactured and will not replace as stated in the recall, but our car has the exact issue as shown in the recall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ gm subject 10287 concerning timing chain issue. Gm put a band aid fix on this and gave a special warranty to 120,000 to repair any issues with timing chain until 120,000 miles. Our timing chain went out at 121,000 and I feel gm should honor the special warranty. Timing chain issue was not explained to us when the band aid fix was applied and timing chain issue started before 120,000 miles.
