1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2017

. This is my first time owning a Cadillac and I must say I absolutely love it! it is a 2007 Sts so it is older but in excellent condition with only around 65,000 miles on it. However I have been very recently disappointed by the service response from my airbag malfunction. I recently noticed my air bag light sensor was intermittently turning on and off and immediately brought it into earnhardt Cadillac of scottsdale for fear of a safety issue. I received a call from steven from services who explained that the wiring harness would have to be replaced before he could even further diagnose the air bag wiring issue. He explained that the air bag would most likely not deploy in an accident. He explained that the harness itself would be $485 and only once he repaired that would he be able to further evaluate the air bag issue. I asked if Cadillac stands behind the repair of such a safety concern and he said only under the warranty and also stated there was no recalls on this car model. I was very disappointed to hear a car with such low mileage would have such a horrific safety issue that Cadillac is not willing to repair or replace. I'm reaching out to you to see if indeed that is the case or if Cadillac would be willing to repair this safety hazard. I had a Honda several years ago and the air bag was replaced immediately for the safety of all drivers and passengers. I'm hoping Cadillac would stand behind its reputation and do the same. It appears as if there are several identical complaints about this car model and even some horrific damage to passengers when the air bag did not deploy. This safety issue needs to be recalled and addressed immediately.

2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2013

When the car is started the service air bag light stays on. I have to shut the car off and exit the car re-enter re-seat myself and my passenger(wife) several times. Sometimes the error goes away and sometime it does not. This car has the same problems the 2007 Cadillac cts had and there was a recall. These cars may have the same air bags as the afore mentioned cts. The internet forums talk of this same problem for the Sts. . Read more...

3 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 03/29/2013

I replace my airbag sensor in the passenger seat, this is a $600 part. On year later this part needs to be replaced again. When reading the gm Cadillac forum this has been a problem for Cadillac for sometime. Failure of this part can result in the airbag not deploying in an accident.
