2006 Cadillac Sts

AIR BAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYS ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SEAT BELT CHIME CONSTANTLY RINGS WITH THE SEAT BELT CONNECTED. GAS LOW NOTIFICATION LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON UNTIL ON EMPTY. NO HEATED SEATS. I THINK THE ECM NEEDS TO BE RESET.SUN ROOF GOES UP BUT NOT SLIDES OPEN. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN.AUTOMATIC CAR STARTER DOESN'T WORK. 2 YEARS AGO, MY SON IN LAW, STARTED THIS CAR IN BELOW ZERO TEMP AND IT STARTED ON FIRE. HE PUT IT OUT AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS OK. SOMETHING MAKES NOISE OCCASIONALLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

I'M CURRENTLY TRANSPORTING ELDER CLIENTS WITHOUT ANY AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE FOR THE PAST SIX WEEKS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006 CTS, BUT NOT THE STS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2006 STS. MY DEALER REFUSES TO HONOR MY REQUEST TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR (WHICH CONTROLS THE AIRBAGS) UNDER RECALL. THANK-YOU!

THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" DISPLAY APPEARED ON CONTROL PANEL DURING A RETURN TRIP FROM FLORIDA TO MASSACHUSETTS. I SEARCHED ON-LINE AND DISCOVERED THAT CADILLAC HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE, AND HAD RECALLED SOME CTS MODELS FOR SAME. HOWEVER, THE STS MODEL HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE THIS WEEK. THE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE FOR THE AIR BAG NEEDED REPLACEMENT IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE SERVICE AIR BAG ISSUE. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIR INCLUDING PARTS, LABOR AND REPROGRAMMING WAS $844.95.

TRAVELING 81 NORTH IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA, ROUNDING TURN CAR STALLED. I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED ME TO SLAM INTO A GUARD RAIL AND THE CAR WENT DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND INTO A BOULDER. AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. PASSENGER AND I WERE SEVERELY INJURED AND HAD TO BE PULLED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH WE WERE BOTH BUCKLED IN, THE SEATBELTS FLEW OFF UPON IMPACT. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD (ITS A DEATH TRAP). *TR

2006 CADILLAC STS. AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED ON MAY 7, 2007, SHE HAD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. NINE MONTHS LATER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS. THEY NOTED A WIRING AND/OR CONNECTION REPLACEMENT. BETWEEN FEBRUARY 2008 AND OCTOBER 2012, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AT TIMES AND THEN GO OFF, AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO CORRECT ITSELF. PRIOR TO MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE THIRD TIME, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. JULY 2013, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND WENT OFF AGAIN. AS OF JUNE 2014, THE LIGHT HAS ONCE AGAIN ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ON. *JB
