2006 Cadillac Sts

THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM HAS BEEN FAILING IN THE SAME MANNER THAT I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER CADILLAC OWNERS HAVE GOTTEN REPAIRED THROUGH A RECALL ALREADY IN PLACE. EVERY SINGLE TIME I PUT GAS IN THE TANK THE CAR REFUSES TO TURN ON WITH THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR TO TURN ON IS AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND FINALLY ENOUGH FUEL GETS DELIVERED TO THE SYSTEM. SIMILARLY, THE CAR WILL HESITATE OR FEEL LIKE NO GAS IS BEING DELIVERED TO THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. OFTEN, IT WILL CAUSE A DRAMATIC DROP IN SPEED CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. GM DEFINITELY NEEDS TO TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE IT IS FAULTS EQUIPMENT RATHER THAN WEAR AND TEAR. ALSO, THERE SEEMS TO BE A SOME MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE OIL SYSTEM IN THE CAR. ONE WEEK AFTER A SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE, THERE IS OVER 1 QUART OF OIL MISSING IN THE RESERVE. THERE HAS BEEN OVER 4 QUARTS MISSING AT A TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC STS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,447. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN FOR THE FOURTH TIME. THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF. UPDATED 12/09/14

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC STS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. AN INDEPENDENT DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN VEHICLE WHEN NO ONE WAS SITTING IN VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP PAID TO HAVE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED WAS TOLD. PASSENGER SEAT PRESENCE SYSTEM FAILURE. QUOTED PRICE FOR $900 TO REPAIR. I RESEARCHED ONLINE SAW RECALL FOR CTS FROM 2005-2007 HOWEVER NOT FRO THE STS. I CONTACTED GM. WAS CALLED BACK IN 48HRS TO BE TOLD THEY DO NOT HELP WITH FIXING ANYTHING THAT IS NOT UNDER RECALL. CAN YOU PLEASE RECALL THE STS AS WELL. I SEE SO MANY OTHERS REPORTING THE SAME THING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ITS THE SAME AIRBAG SYSTEM AS IN THE CTS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES. NOTHING IN THE MANUAL SAYS THIS WOULD NEED TO BE SERVICED OR REPLACED. *TR

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON JUST AS I WAS STARTING THE CAR FOR THE DAY. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE THIS IS A ON GOING ISSUE FOR THE 2006 STS, BUT IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE SAME PARTS WERE USED IN THE STS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ? THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ALMOST A $1,000 TO FIX IT AND I WAS TOLD NONE OF MY AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY UNTIL I GET THIS FIXED . I BELIEVE AIR BAGS AS A SAFETY FEATURE SHOULD BE COVERED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE FOR ISSUES LIKE THIS. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CADILLAC NOT INCLUDING THE STS IN THE RECALL ESPECIALLY AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING IN GEAR, THE VEHICLE WAS COASTING AT 70 MPH. UPON INSPECTION, THE START BUTTON AND IGNITION SWITCH FAILED. A FEW WEEKS EARLIER, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT.
