2005 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - OWNED CAR SINCE 2007, NEVER NOTIFIED OF AIRBAG RECALL. SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC ON 3/15/15. ADVISED OF RECALL. CALLED CADILLAC CUST. SERV. RECALL WAS REMOVED 12/15/14 AND TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR HELP SINCE. MY CAR IS UNSAFE.

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.
