My air bag light is on. I brought it to the dealer for repair. The dealer told me the airbag is unfixable due to the fact that the "passenger seat presence sensor is broken and no longer manufactured". I now have a car that is fully functional aside from this issue and it's unsafe to drive. The dealer also refused to buy the car back from me for fair market value.
The contact owns a 2011 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine started to make an unusual sound and was inadvertently vibrating. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated that the failure is similar to the recall NHTSA campaign: 14v341000 (air bag, power train).

When taking turns my 2011 Cts Cadillac flashes that my air bag must be serviced. On the passenger seat.
On 12-2-19 at 730am eastern time, I was involved in a 55 mph side impact crash to the right side of the vehicle by a semi truck on interstate 475 north in toledo, ohio, mile marker 10, near holland, ohio. No side impact airbags deployed. Vehicle is in 100% excellent maintained condition. No fault codes. Vehicle structure maintained very well for a highway speed crash, however, I have a concussion from the side impact and no airbag deployment. Car was totalled by the semi truck insurance company that struck me.
The car airbag harness failed and it was replaced with part 20973030 . I was not reimbursed for this failure and the car has limited miles on it. It appears to be a regular problem with the Cts harness system and should be on the recall list with other similar airbag problems general motors currently has. Thanks mike kiely.
