11 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Cadillac CTS

Failure Date: 02/11/2019

In August 2011, vehicle was taken to dealer in response to recall 10355 with approximately 31,600 miles. Part 19124390 passenger side seat cushion/airbag module was replaced. In February 2019, service airbag light became illuminated and taken to dealership for diagnosis. Mileage was approximately 66,000. The diagnosis was to replace the passenger side seat cushion/ air bag module, which is the same item replaced in August 2011. Even though it has been 7/8 years since repair, the vehicle has been driven less than 35,000. Of those 35,0000, a front passenger was probably in the passenger seat for only 15,000 miles. I believe this second sensor part is defective and should be replaced at Cadillac's expense. Documentation including invoices and estimates available upon request.

16 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Cadillac CTS

Failure Date: 10/11/2018

Takata recall. We heard from gm recall center that our local gm dealer, rally auto, did this recall Nov 15, 2013. The airbag light is on again not even 5 years later. We are seniors and do not drive this car that far. We took it in to rally and they put it on a machine and charged us $143 to tell us it would be almost $1000 to fix the airbag module in the passenger seat. In researching, it says that the recalls never expire if the manufacturer and parts availability are still there. We are seniors on limited income and this is exhorbitant fees. They did not check under the seat to see if it might be a simple breakage or bending of wires I don't believe. Can you help us get this fixed? it seems it should not be messed up so soon. Thank you.

I purchased a 2003 Cadillac Cts from car mart in anniston, alabama on or about may 5, 2017. Shortly after signing the contract, which included an airbag reference, the service airbag lights came on. They come on at random times and include service airbag andrew airbag icon. I did not notice that the bottom of the airbag on the driver steering wheel had a small crack across it that you could actually see the airbag container. After being assured that an excutive of the company would review our contract and get back with me on this complaint around 2 weeks after taking possession of vechicle. As of today I have have not been contacted even after calling and leaving messages. I was driving down hwy. 78 west when the lights first came on and continue to do so at random times. My wife is short so she is almost up to the steering wheel. I also have a 5 yr old daughter. I am in constant fear and worry that the airbag will deploy prematurely or when hitting a small pothole. I have checked for any recalls from the manufacturer and there are none. I would truly appreciate any assistance I can get to correct this problem. It is an accident waiting to happen.
