I had the air bag harness replaced on this vehicle 2. 5 years ago on this vehicle. The warning light is illuminated and I'm being told it needs to be replaced again. I purchased the vehicle in 2008. If the first airbag lasted for 5 years from year made 2006 (which is not very long). The one that was replaced in December 2011 should have lasted longer than 2. 5 years. I am very concerned that these are defective parts and I don't want to be killed or maimed by the air bag and I don't want to pay for another one in such a short period. I have had all the tire monitors replacd also and the tire pressure readings are always off. When I take the car in to be checked after paying a fee of course. They say there's nothing wrong with them and they just put air in the tires. Thanking you in advance for your help in this matter.

The front passenger air bag warning light came on just as I was starting the car for the day. We took the car to the local dealership and they are well aware this is a on going issue for the 2006 Sts, but it is not part of the recall. I would like to know if the same parts were used in the Sts that were included in the recall ? the dealership wants almost a $1,000 to fix it and I was told none of my air bags will deploy until I get this fixed . I believe air bags as a safety feature should be covered for the life of the vehicle for issues like this. Very disappointed with Cadillac not including the Sts in the recall especially after reading all the other owners with the same exact problem.

The passenger side air bag sensor stopped working. A warning light on the dash came on. Nothing happened to make it stop working, it is just a faulty part. The Cadillac dealer gave me a estimate stating that the "module" needs to be replaced. However, they did not offer to do so under warranty. I think this should be a recalled item since I see a long list of this same complaint on this same model and some other Cadillac models.

The air bag sensor under the seat, meant to indicate the presence of a front-seat passenger has failed, as denoted by a constant service air bag warning light. A Dec, '10 press release announced a recall of '05-'07 cts' for this exact issue. Paragraph 5 of the release reads in part "owners of certain other 2005-2007 that have significantly lower incident rates will be provided free repairs for the issue for up to 10 years or 120,000 miles. " numerous contacts with Cadillac customer service throughout 2011 resulted in refusals to authorize repairs at their expense. A complaint files with the WI dept of ag, trade and consumer affairs resulted in a call from a rep of gm's business resource center advising that they would again refuse my request because ". . . The Sts model was not included in the recall. " she offered that after I pay for diagnostics (local estimate $260) 'we will be happy to look into cost assistance on the repair. ' two months later when I called back I was told they closed the file and that I needed to start the complaint process over.
