I am the owner of a 2005 Cadillac Cts which was not included in the airbag recall, according to the NHTSA and gm websites, but has the same year, make, model, and defective airbag as the ones included. I took my Cadillac to get a 27 point inspection, oil change, etc. , on 2/16/18, and I was informed that the front seat airbag sensor needed to be replaced because it was not working. My vehicle should be included in the gm manufacturing recall of takata airbags.

Front passenger airbag sensor shorted out and required replacement. Both Cadillac dealership and gm indicating that my VIN # doesn't apply as part of the gm safety recall 100355 NHTSA id 10v644000 which means I am responsible for the cost of part and labor for the fix.

The airbag sensor light just came on even though the car has never been in a wreck. Although, this was issued a recall it is only on certain cars of that year. The problem has been acknowledged so not sure why all cars in this year range are not fixed on the recall since this is an acknowledged safety issue. This light comes on as soon as the car is started. Is Cadillac going to take responsibility if the airbag goes off or does not go off in an accident? this is a safety feature that should be fixed by Cadillac.

Passenger airbag occupant sensor/module is faulty. After a while, the mat kinks, bends, or folds. Due to this it loses connection and triggers a "service airbag soon", disabling the airbag system until the problem is fixed. This is the same problem as in NHTSA recall #10v644000, but for some reason my car is not covered. It requires replacement with the same gm part number (19124390).

Passenger seat belt (female) assembly using a takata initiator (cylinder alongside the seat) for airbag deployment sensor failure. Dealer says parts in no longer made, no one makes aftermarket parts for the srs, therefore no repair can be made and jeopardizes safety and omits the purpose of an srs.

Passenger airbag sensor light remains lit at all times. Light is supposed to go off after system check. Manual says sensors needs to be serviced or injury may occur during accident due to airbag failure. According to internet Cadillac forums, many drivers are experiencing this same problem and dealers are telling them "it is normal" or charging over $600 to replace sensor that may or may not fix problem. This is very similar to the recall for 2003-2008 Cts's for the same problem. Even older Cts's are experiencing a return of the problem and dealers won't fix them saying the problem was already fixed in the recall. How can gm say a recall was successful when it didn't fix the problem in the cars identified and newer cars are having the same problems. ?.

Driver information center (dic) began suddenly displaying "service airbag soon" alert when passenger is seated within vehicle. Cursory inspection revealed no obvious problem with airbag system components to include visible wiring and accessible sensor connection points. This problem appears to be consistent with the condition addressed in gm recall number 10355 (NHTSA campaign id 10v644000).

In January I heard there was a recall on the 2005 Cadillac Cts for a possible failure of the passenger seat air bag sensor. In late February while on vacation, the air bag service light came on every time I started my car. I then noticed the passenger air bag on/off message on the rear view mirror showed the air bag was off all the time. Even when someone was in the passenger seat it showed off. Upon returning from vacation in early March, I called the Cadillac dealer where I purchased the vehicle in December 2004 and was told that according to general motors records my vehicle was not involved in the recall for the air bag sensor (10v-644000). I then called Cadillac customer assistance and was told the same thing. I asked why my vehicle was not involved when it appeared I was having the problem addressed in the recall. I was told I could wait to see if it would be in the future and I told the representative that if I waited it would negate the purpose of having a passenger air bag if it would not work. I was told I could have the repairs completed at my expense but as far as they were concerned my vehicle was not in the previously mentioned recall. On March 7, 2001 I had the vehicle check at my local repair shop and they verified the passenger seat occupant sensor had to be replaced. They installed the new module kit and it cost me $451. 78. I called Cadillac customer assistance and was told my vehicle was not involved in the recall even though I had the problem addressed in the recall. I'm seeking reimbursement for repairs that should have been fixed under recall 10v-64000.

Airbag deployment sensor in my 2006 Cadillac Cts is non-functional. Vehicle has approximately 75,000 miles and is out of warranty. Dealer (david taylor Cadillac, houston, TX) has advised that the airbags will not function unless the sensor is replaced, at a cost of $625. 00 this is a serious safety issue for a 3 year old vehicle. Gm will not repair without cost.

My airbag light is on and when I took it to the dealer, the passenger airbag module was gone in it and they refused to repair it cause my warranty was expired and there is no recall on the vehicle. I don't understand its a recall on the 2009 model Cadillac Cts for the airbag but not the 2006. If im in a car accident, it will not deflate.

My car has been confirmed that the frontal sensor/control module does not work again. I had it once repaired due to a recall, I believe in 2009. Now in 2012, I am having another issue with the passenger airbag module, in which needs to be replaced (been confirmed by dealer). This part senses if the passenger is sitting in the car. The light is on telling me the passenger airbag needs service. My brakes are new and have been recently replaced, 2 months ago, but there is an issue with stepping on the brakes. When I do I slide and there is an increase in stopping distance. I almost crashed into an RV, slid 8 feet into an intersection because of this on-going issue. I was told by Cadillac dealer in bellingham, wa. The dealer didn't know why I was sliding but to be sure, it was best to change the brakes. Well, it is happening again. I am wondering if it is a recall. I can physically hear the brakes lock up, makes a grinding like noise, then slides forward. I am scared to drive the car. I am in washington state & the car was purchased in washington state, as well. Is it possible that more state can have the same issues related to the other states affected?.

Multiple service visits with complaints re brakes not working fully, fuel gauge was always incorrect, passenger air bag not working. Air bag sensor was replaced but did not correct the problem. After multiple complaints regarding fuel gauge and several attempts to repair, was told no problem found. Stbility sensor replaced while going thru parking lot at 15 mph, slightly touching the brakes, the cars stability system light came on and the brakes failed. Car did hard right, brakes failed and car ran over curb and into sign. Gm finally repurchsed the vehicle after several miscommunications re the terms of repurchase but refused to cover the damage to the sign and expected me to repair the car before they would purchase.
