2007 CADILLAC STS Complaints

The vehicle experiences a Shift-to-Park malfunction in which it does not consistently recognize that it is in Park, despite being physically shifted into the Park position. When this occurs, the vehicle may fail to shut down properly or behaves as if it is not securely in Park. The condition is reproducible and occurs during normal use. The issue first appeared in approximately mid-2024 at an estimated mileage of 80,000–85,000 miles and continues to occur. No crash or collision has occurred. However, the defect involves core powertrain and electrical systems and presents safety concerns related to reliable gear recognition and vehicle shutdown. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request.

Air bag on the steering wheel has oozing glue that oozed/leaked out of the airbag and has hardened on outer cover! Lights and radio don’t disconnect or turn off when car is turned off and drain battery.

THEN AGAIN IN 2016, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WITH FUELING SYSTEM. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DIAGNOSTICS FROM AUTOZONE.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DIC INDICATES THE AIR BAG REQUIRES SERVICE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS SHOT. THE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED AND IT'S A THOUSAND DOLLAR REPAIR AT THE DEALER. RARELY DOES ANYBODY SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT APPEARS THAT THIS PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR IS A COMMON FAILURE IN OTHER GM MODELS AS WELL.
