My airbag sensor on my passenger seat does not work. It cannot detect the passenger and therefore would not go off if there was an accident. I tried purchasing the item from gm by going to my local service location and was told the part is not made anymore and I cannot buy it. There is none made for my car online. I need a module to detect if a passenger is present not only for safety but to pass inspection in NJ. They offered no solution and simply told me after ten years they don’t have to make parts for a car. My problem with that is this car body style and parts is for years 2009-2014 so they should still make it for the 2014 and I could use that. During my research I have come across approximately 30 other Ctsv owners that have the same issue and it’s not just a part that can be replaced with an aftermarket one because there is none being made that fit these seats. Gm has an issue with lots of their cars including the Ctsv generation before mine and there is recalls for that one too. How can a company sell a 500hp car to someone and not make the parts for the car anymore which could result in a serious injury or death? I cannot inspect my car and could be ticketed in my state for not having an inspection. An airbag sensor not working or not detecting a passenger is a major concern and they will not address this issue. There’s forums dedicated to this issue. I even said it’s fine I would buy it if it’s not recalled and they simply said we don’t or won’t make them anymore. I don’t know what I’m suppose to do? not drive my car? I have tried everything and even purchasing a whole new seat and have not gotten anywhere. Part number#20903436.

Check engine light, steering tight when backing up or in tight spaces, door locks, suspension control and abs light was a recall on air bags that I dont see on the recall list now.

Driving at night my son hit ice and his Cadillac went off the road hitting a mailbox with a support made from a telephone pole, a row of mailboxes that caused his car to go airborne. The car rolled 2 times. No airbags were deployed. The driver's side was intact. The front, drivers side,passangers side and sunroof windows were shattered. He died from massive, multiple injuries.
