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.

Driving at 10pm south on highway going 65mph on left shoulder 20min in and 10 min to get to my destination (home) on middlel lane n an 18 wheeler tried to merge to left (gusssing he did not see car) so to avoid being swiped by semi said ed steering will to left off to exit median close to cement baracade semi passed got back on road 5 minutes in side left & right also front and back air bags deployed lost control off vehicle and spinned out of freeway & steering wheel locked unable to start vehicle car facing south now and off highway realized the only thing hit was a front grill where Cadillac sign next to it grill was cracked couple of scuffs but no other body damages and front airbags dint deploy so questioning if possible undetected malfunctions progressive insurance agent lakiesha woodson no police report because I dint get hit or hit anything or anybody have a repair invoice - stating an 18k estimate & considered totaled due to airbags and tow service of $700 that neither delearship or insurance want to be responsible for delearship states that since insurance involved cannot have car towed to gm/Cadillac service center and insurance states I'm at fault because I'm the one that swerved from semi but have stated I avoided to be hit or pushed off road and it was way after that is when airbags just deployed for nothing or due to it being all electric is just too sensitive and late in reacting either way that's what caused me loosing control of vehicle was not expecting the deployment. . . Had I otherwise hit or been hit I would asume the front airbags would have deployed as well and there would be more body damage other than just airbags and a fallen off front fender just feel like this should be investigated because even if it does not make sense it is what happened just no one wants to accept the responsibility deductible $500.

My 2005 Cadillac Cts does have recalls on those models however in contacting Cadillac they are telling me I need to pay to have this fixed. I have a srevice air bag showing up onsreen and in mirror of my car. I am hoping I can force them to fix this.

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.

Passenger presence module malfunction is intermittent. When the malfunction occurs there is a warning light plus "service airbag" on the instrument panel. Sometimes the light and warning go off after several minutes, sometimes stays on for days. In virginia presence of this warning during an annual safety inspection is considered a failure. The vehicle in question is a 2010 Cadillac Cts-v with heated/cooled recaro seats. Dealership has confirmed that the issue is the module but says the module is not available or on backorder (for years). Issue was first reported to dealer in 2018 and again in 2022 with no resolution. Estimated repair cost is in excess of $1500.

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.

Takata recall - airbag passenger side mechanism is defective. Cadillac says $900 to replace, plus labor. Will not pass inspection. I can't afford replacement. Can't sell the vehicle until it's fixed.

Brake system failure: I was driving on the highway and had to execute an emergency stop going approximately 30 mph on a cool dry road. When I did, the car power, engine, electrical system shut down and refused to brake any more than it did prior to my slamming on the brakes. My momentum would have carried me into the car positioned only a few feet in front of me if I hadn't the presence of mind to instinctively pull off onto the shoulder as to avoid rear-ending the car in front of me. I had to put the car into park in order to be restart it. Immediately I noticed that the brakes felt substantially different. The system lost enough pedal pressure that stopping after that incident required me to drive at low speeds and give myself more distance; thankfully, I still had some ability to stop, at that time. I inspected the brake lines and hoses after parking the vehicle that the steel brake lines had fluid dripping from them. I also noticed that the driver front wheel well liner had a spray of brake fluid that covered the interior portion of the liner, proximally, behind the rim and tire sidewall. I had tested the brakes after that and have no braking ability. I have not touched it since that incident. The rest is ongoing and is separate from the incident reported above. Air bags: the system keeps telling me that the airbag system needs to be serviced. I've read the recall info regarding other Cadillac cars and mine meets the same criteria but has no recall notice. Something about this coincidence doesn't make sense. . . Engine: internal timing chain tensioner has failed and I hear a noticeable ticking of the chain slapping against the sidewall that is emanating from the passenger side of the engine. I have seen, read, heard of other individual owner testimonials that talk about this being an issue that Cadillac refuses to acknowledge.

Airbag on no passenger airbag. Lights inside work sometimes. Car was moving.

We are trying to find out if the installed part 19259297: n-module kit (14865-k) is defective. We had this part replaced twice -- once on 7/25/14 at 42,943 miles, and, again on 10/11/16 at 46,589 miles. Although the part does not appear to be under a current recall for our VIN number, perhaps someone needs to review it since we've had to replace it twice within a little over a two-year period. We've contacted Cadillac directly and they are not willing to research the safety or adequacy of this part. We had the part replace at steve foley Cadillac (northbrook, IL).

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.

My car shows to repair my air bag. Reading on the recall for the ignition recall it can effect the air bag. Two weeks ago I had the key taken care of and now all of a sudden the air bag shows up to be repaired. I will be going into the dealer today to see what is happening. I was told on the phone it could be any where from $300. 00 to three thousand. How crazy is this. Looking up the VIN number I can't find my VIN number if it is a recall for the air bag I do not intend to spend that kind of money on my call for an air bag fix. Please help to ease my mind if my airbag is a recall.

The airbag sensing system for the passenger seat has failed. This is a known issue for gm who handled it by means of a "service accommodation" that extended the warranty to 100,000 miles. If it was handled as a recall it would have required them to make the needed repairs no matter what, they are dodging their responsibility by handling it in this manner and will not provide any support for consumers once you pass the expiration. This is fraud.

Fixed once at dealer and fail again after a year.

Gm issued recall #n140233, NHTSA recall #14v341 on Aug. 04, 2014. We took our car to an authorized gm dealer on sept. 14 at which time they ordered a replacement part (#34106) which gm has yet to supply as of this date, Nov. 20, 2014. Upon checking with another dealer we were told they too are having trouble getting the necessary part from gm.

Came to a stop waiting for a car ahead of me to make a left hand turn. Was then contacted by another vehicle from behind that was traveling at an estimated 60 mph. My Cts-v was then pushed into the car in front causing significant damage to that vehicle, and crushing my front end. Of all airbags in the Cts-v, not one deployed.
