2006 Cadillac Sts

PURCHASED 2006 CADILLAC STS BUILT ON JUNE 21 2005 LAST DAY OF 2005 MODEL. CAR HAS HAD ALL THE ISSUES THAT 22005 VEHICLE HAD. JUNE 23RD 2005 WAS FIRST DAY OF PRODUCTION. AT EVERY CORNER VIN # ARE NOTED HOWEVER FOR THIS MODEL THE BUILD DAYS WHICH NOTED BY CADILLAC ARE THE IMPORTANT FACTORS. I DON'T THINK COINCIDENCE THAT I'VE BEEN COMPANLING TO CADILLACAND ASKING FOR HELP WITH ZERO HELP. CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS EXTENDED WARRANTEE FOR 200000 AND 12 YEARS HOWEVER CADILLAC ALWAYS SAYS VIN EVEN THOUGH DATES ARE THE ONLY THING NOTED. I HAVE CALLED AND E,AIL FOR 3 YEARS. MY CAR IS OFF ROAD AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO LOOK AND EVEN IF I PAID THEY WOULDN'T GUARANTEE THEY WOULD EVEN LOOK AT THE ISSUES. MY CAR IS IN ABSOLUTE LIMBO NEITHER A 2006 OR 05 OR WHATEVER. THEY HAVE REFUSED EVERY STEP EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BASED ON RECALLS

A HIGH PITCH FIRE ALARM NOISE INTERMITTENT GOING OFF INSIDE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DEAFENING, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE ALL ATTENTION AND COVERING EARS FROM SOUND. THE SOUND SEEMS TO BE RADIATING FROM THE 15.1 BOSE SOUND SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM MAY PRESENT ITSELF AT DIFFERENT TIMES WEATHER CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOUND IN OTHER MODELS IE: CTS, STS, SRX, AND OTHER CADILLAC MODELS WITH THIS SOUND SYSTEM. IT SEEMS TO BE PRESENT IN MODEL YEARS 2002-2010.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC STS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD COMMUNICATE WITH THEM ONCE A SOLUTION WAS DETERMINED. THE CONTACT NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON TELLING YOU TO SERVICE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THEY FIXED IT, 1 WEEK LATER CAME BACK ON. THEY SAID IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THEY SAID THE PART THET YOU CONNECT TO SECURE YOU IN THE SEAT BELT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. UNTIL THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON SAYING SERVICE AIRBAG BUT IT'S REALLY NOT THE AIRBAG IT'S THE SEAT BUCKLE. I WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET.

STARTED RECEIVING A CONSTANT, "SERVICE AIR BAG" WARNING MESSAGE AFTER 125,000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE NEEDED REPLACED. IT WILL COST $1,000 FOR THE PART, LABOR, AND PROGRAMMING. NOW I READ ON THIS FORUM THAT THE SAME ISSUE WAS FOUND ON THE CTS MODEL AND IT WAS RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NOT THE STS. IT'S DIFFICULT TO JUSTIFY PUTTING THAT MUCH MONEY IN AN OLDER VEHICLE.
