Problems with 2005 Cadillac CTS AIR BAGS

My 2005 cadillac cts does have recalls on those models however in contacting cadillac they are telling me i need to pay to have this fixed. i have a srevice air bag showing up onsreen and in mirror of my car. i am hoping i can force them to fix this

Service air bag light comes on, only 52000 miles on vehicle.

Takata recall had wreck air bag did not deploy at the time it should have, rush in ambulance to hospital car was on highway going straight,

Per report tje suspension system and aorbag recall. when i purchased vehicle, information was warrant to me. i total loss my car due to suspension and axle malfuntion. it caused me to hit a curb. i could not gain control.

I am the owner of a 2005 cadillac cts which was not included in the airbag recall, according to the nhtsa and gm websites, but has the same year, make, model, and defective airbag as the ones included. i took my cadillac to get a 27 point inspection, oil change, etc., on 2/16/18, and i was informed that the front seat airbag sensor needed to be replaced because it was not working. my vehicle should be included in the gm manufacturing recall of takata airbags.

The service airbag light illuminated in my car. the passenger seat sensor does not activate when someone is sitting in the seat, and therefore the airbag does not turn on. this was a noticed recall for this year of car, but when i searched my vin, my car does not qualify.

We keep getting a message on the car screen that the front passenger side airbag is off when the car is started whether someone is sitting in the seat or not. code is b0092 passenger detection error. just recently bought car and registered it, cadillac dealers says no recall for this safety issue. it is in fact an issue if we are in a car accident, the police will ask first thing about the airbag. just thankful we know about this issue before something ever happens. code just came up today december 19, 2017.

Brake system failure: i was driving on the highway and had to execute an emergency stop going approximately 30 mph on a cool dry road. when i did, the car power, engine, electrical system shut down and refused to brake any more than it did prior to my slamming on the brakes. my momentum would have carried me into the car positioned only a few feet in front of me if i hadn't the presence of mind to instinctively pull off onto the shoulder as to avoid rear-ending the car in front of me. i had to put the car into park in order to be restart it. immediately i noticed that the brakes felt substantially different. the system lost enough pedal pressure that stopping after that incident required me to drive at low speeds and give myself more distance; thankfully, i still had some ability to stop, at that time. i inspected the brake lines and hoses after parking the vehicle that the steel brake lines had fluid dripping from them. i also noticed that the driver front wheel well liner had a spray of brake fluid that covered the interior portion of the liner, proximally, behind the rim and tire sidewall. i had tested the brakes after that and have no braking ability. i have not touched it since that incident. the rest is ongoing and is separate from the incident reported above. air bags: the system keeps telling me that the airbag system needs to be serviced. i've read the recall info regarding other cadillac cars and mine meets the same criteria but has no recall notice. something about this coincidence doesn't make sense... engine: internal timing chain tensioner has failed and i hear a noticeable ticking of the chain slapping against the sidewall that is emanating from the passenger side of the engine. i have seen, read, heard of other individual owner testimonials that talk about this being an issue that cadillac refuses to acknowledge.

tl* the contact owns a 2005 cadillac cts. the contact stated that the when the vehicle was turned on, a "service air bag" warning light illuminated. in addition, the "air bag off" light illuminated on the rear view mirror. the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 55,000.

Front passenger airbag sensor shorted out and required replacement. both cadillac dealership and gm indicating that my vin # doesn't apply as part of the gm safety recall 100355 nhtsa id 10v644000 which means i am responsible for the cost of part and labor for the fix.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 cadillac cts. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator kept illuminating and remained lit. the dealer (englewood cliffs cadillac, 374 sylvan ave, englewood cliffs, nj 07632, (201) 568-4800) was notified and stated that the vehicle was not included in a manufacturer recall for the air bags. the manufacturer was notified and provided no solution. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The airbag sensor light just came on even though the car has never been in a wreck. although, this was issued a recall it is only on certain cars of that year. the problem has been acknowledged so not sure why all cars in this year range are not fixed on the recall since this is an acknowledged safety issue. this light comes on as soon as the car is started. is cadillac going to take responsibility if the airbag goes off or does not go off in an accident? this is a safety feature that should be fixed by cadillac.

Airbag on no passenger airbag. lights inside work sometimes. car was moving.

We are trying to find out if the installed part 19259297: n-module kit (14865-k) is defective. we had this part replaced twice -- once on 7/25/14 at 42,943 miles, and, again on 10/11/16 at 46,589 miles. although the part does not appear to be under a current recall for our vin number, perhaps someone needs to review it since we've had to replace it twice within a little over a two-year period. we've contacted cadillac directly and they are not willing to research the safety or adequacy of this part. we had the part replace at steve foley cadillac (northbrook, il). *tr

The airbag sensing system for the passenger seat has failed. this is a known issue for gm who handled it by means of a "service accommodation" that extended the warranty to 100,000 miles. if it was handled as a recall it would have required them to make the needed repairs no matter what, they are dodging their responsibility by handling it in this manner and will not provide any support for consumers once you pass the expiration. this is fraud.

I have a cadillac cts for about two years now and just a couple of days ago the airbag light came on that it needed to be serviced and i took it to a dealer and they told me it was the passenger air bag that it would cost me approx: 649.38 dollars and i have seen where some of the cadillac cts have been recalled for the same problem and the dealer repaired some of the recalled cars but the dealer advised me not to drive it due to that if we had a crash the air bags may not deploy and i have no other vechile to drive i have a wife and three kids that ride in this car and i cant afford to have the service performed i just want to know how can they perform recalls on certian vechiles is it so they will fix half of them and the other half would have to pay to get the service done to help make up for the money they lost due to the recall also i have a car the dealer dont want me to drive i have babies and doctor appts that they have to be taken to. and if i was to have to take my kids to a doc appt and someone hit me and the airbags didnt deploy and someone got killed i pray not but who to say it wouldnt be a lawsuit because some are recalled and some not and now they want to charge a arm and a leg to get the problem resolved i don't think its fair we should have to pay for a problem like this plus how can we afford it whenever our wonderful state pays us minimum wage and the cost of living is outrageous. *tr

Vehicle stopped detecting person sitting in passenger front seat. passenger airbag remains off when there is a passenger. service message appears on dash stating to service airbag. this is a safety issue that could cause the front passenger airbag to not deploy in an accident. there is a recall on 2005-2007 cadillac cts models however, there is no recall on mine for some reason. there is nothing that could have caused this issue other than faulty equipment that should be recognized by gm. *tr

A passenger (6'2" 200 lb.) man sat in the passenger seat and as result, the passenger air bag light went on the instrument panel. i figured it was a sensor that must have snapped or come loose. i went to cadillac dealer and they charge $140. to diagnose the problem and then wanted another $300 to repair it. at no time did they tell me there was a recall for this type of incident. i just called the number for cadillac listed on the recall website and spoke with someone, who after i gave him the vin number on the car, said my car was not part of the recall. he recommended that i call the dealer and have that taken care of...on my dime. it seems ridiculous that i should get stuck paying for this. this is why i will never buy another gm car and many people that i speak with, have purchased mercedes and other foreign made cars. apparently cadillac does not stand behind their products. too bad. *tr

I was involved in a serious head on collision with an oncoming car. my car was severely damaged and no air bags deployed causing me to get 10 stitches, a fractured nose, neck, back, chest and abdominal pain. the air bags were serviced less than a year ago at the specific brand car dealer but this did not help. this was not the first time the air bags did not deploy. there were no stop signs or traffic signals to prevent this and also the double yellow lines in the middle of the intersection seem to be at fault. if the driver of both sides stays next to it the cars will hit each other. *tr

My "service air bag" light came on recently and i also noticed that the passenger airbag would detect a person in the passenger seat. i went online to discover that there was a recall on 2005 cadillac cts models. when i took my car to the gm dealership they stated that there was no recall for my car and said that they could look at it but i would be charged to fix it. i then called my nearest cadillac dealership and they also stated that my car had no recalls on it and that i could take it in to be fixed but they would charge me. my vehicle only has 68,000 miles and i feel that my vehicle should be included in the recall for this issue. *tr

In january i heard there was a recall on the 2005 cadillac cts for a possible failure of the passenger seat air bag sensor. in late february while on vacation, the air bag service light came on every time i started my car. i then noticed the passenger air bag on/off message on the rear view mirror showed the air bag was off all the time. even when someone was in the passenger seat it showed off. upon returning from vacation in early march, i called the cadillac dealer where i purchased the vehicle in december 2004 and was told that according to general motors records my vehicle was not involved in the recall for the air bag sensor (10v-644000). i then called cadillac customer assistance and was told the same thing. i asked why my vehicle was not involved when it appeared i was having the problem addressed in the recall. i was told i could wait to see if it would be in the future and i told the representative that if i waited it would negate the purpose of having a passenger air bag if it would not work. i was told i could have the repairs completed at my expense but as far as they were concerned my vehicle was not in the previously mentioned recall. on march 7, 2001 i had the vehicle check at my local repair shop and they verified the passenger seat occupant sensor had to be replaced. they installed the new module kit and it cost me $451.78. i called cadillac customer assistance and was told my vehicle was not involved in the recall even though i had the problem addressed in the recall. i'm seeking reimbursement for repairs that should have been fixed under recall 10v-64000. *tr
