2006 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

I HAVE A CADILLAC CTS 2006 AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CADILLAC DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY FOUND THAT THE FRONT SENSOR CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POLICY. I PAID A $100.00 DIAGNOSIS FEE BUT DID NOT GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS OVER $500.00. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTANENCE AND AGAIN HAD THE LOOK AT THE AIRBAG LIGHT, AGAIN NOT REPAIRED. I THEM READ ON THIS SITE THE GM HAD RECALLED THIS MODEL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I CALLED GM MOTORS BECAUSE THE SAME SENSOR IS RECALLED FOR CADILLAC CTS MODELS 2005-2006 AND THE CAMPAIGN ID # IS 10V644000, HOWEVER GM TOLD ME THAT MY LAST DIAGNOSIS WAS TOO OLD SO I HAD TO PAY AGAIN $100.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO SEND TO GM ALTHOUGH I AND THE DEALER KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG. GM THE REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL. THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLED VEHICLES. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER :10V644000 THAT STATS: "NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING THAT AIR BAGS DEPLOYMENT MAY REDUCE PROTECTION OF THE PASSENGER AND INCREASE THE RISK OR SEVERITY OF INJURY TO THEM... DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE..GM SAFETY RECALL NO. 100355" I WENT FORWARD AND REPAIRED IT THIS TIME AS I HAVE PAID 3 $100.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THIS IS A WAY THAT GM IS ATTEMPTING TO RIP CUSTOMERS OFF. ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS DEACTIVATED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE PROBLEM IS BEING CAUSED BY THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS ALREADY ON THE RECALL FOR 2005-2007 CADILLAC CTS, BUT ACCORDING TO THE CADILLAC DEALER, THE RECALL DOES NOT INVOLVE MY VIN. I SUGGEST THAT THE NHSTA REVIEW THE RECALL AND ADD ALL 2005 - 2007 CADILLAC CTS VEHICLES THAT DISPLAY THE AIR BAG ERROR BE INCLUDED ON THE RECALL.

I HAVE A CADILLAC CTS 2006 AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON.

FAILED INSPECTION ON 2006 CADILLAC CTS BECAUSE 3RD LED BRAKELIGHT WAS NOT WORKING FULLY, I STILL HAVE WORKING BRAKE LIGHTS BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET STICKER RELATED TO SAFETY FAILURE IF THIS A SAFETY ISSUE THEN WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OTHER CADILLAC CTS WITH SAME EXACT PROBLEM. AND THE ONLY PLACE TO GET ANOTHER 3RD BRAKE LIGHT IS FRO THE CADILLAC DEALERS FOR $600.00 I THOUGHT CADILLAC WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE LIFE WARRANTIES THIS CAR WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE LIGHT DOES WORK ON ONE SIDE.
