2006 Cadillac STS owner complaints

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

While starting my car, a light came on my car indicating "service air bag". I took my car to the dealership and they indicated that 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 $1,000 to $1,200. I do not have $1,000 to fix this problem, so I am forced to drive a car without airbags. The 2005 - 2007 cts has the same issue and gm issued a recall. Why not the sts???

"service passenger side airbag" warning message displayed. A warning light will display saying the passengers airbag is off. Problem comes and goes. This seems to be the same error that caused the Cadillac cts recall. Why has this not included the sts? Type this problem into google and there are lots of complaints including the dts. There is a tsb: "NHTSA number: 10036512. Cadillac: front passenger air bag status indicator displays off or switches from on to off with passenger in seat (replace passenger presence system (pps) module). Condition may be caused by passenger presence system (pps) in right front." will there have to be an accident for the recall to be expanded? *tr

October 8, 2006 I was involved in an accident in my 2006 Cadillac sts where a truck crossed the median on a four lane highway and hit my car in the side. The impact was so severe it bent the center post between the doors and needless to say I had to be cut out of the vehicle. The side air bags did not deploy. A few days earlier I had taken the car to the dealership with my mother sitting in the front seat and the sign on the mirror read "airbag off". Cadillac assigned a service request number 1-437819043 but to date refuse to discuss this issue with me. Question: has anyone else experienced a similar problem with the airbags? Are we riding around with the false impression we are protected?? December 7, 2006 I did hear from a Cadillac representative today. The Cadillac representative

I started up the car last night, and "service airbag" came up on my driver information center. It has not gone away sense. With all these air bag recalls, is that one that would be included? *tr

From an internet search I have found that a common problem on these models (also 2005, 2007 & 2008) is with the passenger side airbag sensors either not detecting passengers or, as in the case of my vehicle, not functioning at all either intermittently or on a continuum. A dealer wants between $900 and $1000 to fix them and have reported to me that they "see them all the time". The 2009 cts model was recalled for the very same problems. I can't afford to get it fixed. Hopefully you guys can get some action as gm was no help at all. Thank you. [xxx] [xxx] pls don't hesitate to call if you have questions. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

I understand that 2006 Cadillac cts has a recall for airbag problems. Cadillac doesn't deny that the same system was used in the sts. I've seen several complaints about the same problem. I just wonder why the sts was not recalled. I knew there was no warranty, and that's why I contacted Cadillac. Knowing this they sent me for a diagnostic, which was a waste of time and money. The end result was that they said it's not under warranty. I would just like you to investigate to see if there should be a recall. This is a safety issue that Cadillac should address. *js

The passenger side air bag sensor stopped working. A warning light on the dash came on. Nothing happened to make it stop working, it is just a faulty part. The Cadillac dealer gave me a estimate stating that the "module" needs to be replaced. However, they did not offer to do so under warranty. I think this should be a recalled item since I see a long list of this same complaint on this same model and some other Cadillac models. *tr

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 ov

2006 Cadillac sts four wheel drive v8. The rear differential lock-up without warning going at 65 MPH on I-94 eb freeway at the 10 mile rd exit in michigan causing the vehicle to be out of control and spin around three times in a circle from the left lane to the right lane across the entire freeway coming to a complete halt on the right side shoulder. The vehicle came close to upending and rolling over. Lucky the driver behind the Cadillac was able to keep control of their car and bring it to a stop which helped th prevent any oncoming vehicles to hit the Cadillac. The locking up of the differential was a violent reaction causing the driver to have no control over the vehicle because the car turned off. The driver had no control over the spin. A report was filed with the mi

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.

Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled on five different occasions. The service dealer could not duplicate the problem. The contact expressed concern that the vehicle was unsafe and thought this could be an electrical problem.*ak

I lease a 2006 Cadillac sts with 35,000 miles driven. For the past 6,000 miles, an increasing thumping noise has been emanating from the front wheels. I brought it to the Cadillac dealer I got it from (country Cadillac GMC Buick, huntington, ny) and their brief synopsis indicated that the tires were worn out, because there are flat spots on them causing the thumping. The problem is, Cadillac explicitly warranty?s the tires from defects for full replacement during the bumper to bumper coverage of 5 year/50,000 miles. I contacted michelin to discuss warranty coverage and they instructed me to bring the car into a service center to analyze for warranty. Their analysis indicates that any wear of this type is mechanical in nature, and it is a root cause within the front end of the car.

I got up one morning to do to my fathers house . While I was driving , I heard a popping sound coming from the passenger seat. I thought maybe it was something in my door pocket bouncing around. I continued driving but a few minutes later ,I saw smoke coming from under the passenger seat. *tr
