The accident occurred as a result of evasive action to avoid striking an animal (believed to be a large coyote) that suddenly appeared from the left of us97n north of klamath falls, oregon, a two lane roadway. this action caused the right front wheel to travel to the road shoulder. the shoulder was covered with an accumulation of cinder material used by the state to provide traction on ice and snow. it was built up due to the action of snowplows. (the road was clean and dry at the time of the accident). the wheel sank into the accumulated cinders causing the vehicle to enter a spin and subsequently to roll down an embankment. none of the front or side air bags deployed. gm's cadillac division was made aware of this fact and conducting an investigation of their own. they since advised that they were unable to determine a cause for the failure. air bag deployment would not have prevented the incident but may have lessened the extent of the injuries suffered by the driver and front seat passenger. post accident photographs, rescue agency reports, police reports and a readout of the vehicle's "black box" computer equipment are available on request. interestingly enough, an e-mail diagnostics report from the vehicle's on-star system dated june 22, 2010 was received almost four months after the accident stating "no issues found" with the air bag system but that the on-star system, which also failed to function at the time of the accident, required action. *tr

2006 cadillac cts passenger side air bag sensor . original problem was the service air bag light came on the dash approximate mileage 68700. took the car in for service and came back as passenger side module had failed. ( safety warning air bag would not deploy for any reason.) had senor module replaced at cost of $ 596.18 in reviewing the log this model year has had a number of this type of occurrence. what is needed to have a recall for this problem? how many air bags are disconnected due to cost of repair ? if a 3 year old car has a major safety component (air bag ) not working. what can be deemed when the majority of the cars reach 5 years? seat belts and air bags are for the passengers safety. this is a family car. *tr

Air bag light on. i call cadillac and they advised me to take it immediately to the dealer. i ask the representative if they have received complaints on the same problem and he said a few. i asked him if its under warranty and he said that he will forward it to the warranty person who will handle my case. however, they will need a report from the dealer on the problem and if the dealer finds the part defective they will replace it at no cost to me. he connected me to the healey brothers the nearest dealer to my home. i made the appointment and before i made the appointment the dealer representative tried to informed me that if the car was not in a crash the part may be defective. the gm representative was still on the line and immediately cut off the dealer and stated you are to check the car and get back to me and we will handle it from there. i made the appointment & took the car on november 17, 2009. i had to pay the dealer for the diagnosis of $113.29. they inspected the car in and out for any crash damage and they found none and commented on how well i take care of the car. they a computer checked and found failure code set b0092 for circuit malfunction traced to failure within the seat and must replace module to enable airbag system to work/operate. they gm customer assistance case # 71-776491182 and advice of repair needed and cost of $920.93 and it did not include the $113.00 that i paid for. i received a call a day later and the gm representative told me that the cars warranty expired however, they will offer me a resolution to me by reducing some of the labor repair and a maintenance package if i agree to absorb the rest of the cost. i explain that i should not absorb any cost. he stated let me speak to my boss and ill get back to you and ill call you back with a decision. i did not get a return call. i left a message to the gm representative justin pepper and have not received return calls since. *tr

Airbag deployment sensor in my 2006 cadillac cts is non-functional. vehicle has approximately 75,000 miles and is out of warranty. dealer (david taylor cadillac, houston, tx) has advised that the airbags will not function unless the sensor is replaced, at a cost of $625.00 this is a serious safety issue for a 3 year old vehicle. gm will not repair without cost. *tr

On my 2006 cadillac cts, i experienced a defect in the passenger frontal airbag. this occurred in august, 2009. i took the vehicle to the local cadillac dealer and the problem was supposedly corrected. now seven months later, the same defect light is coming on indicating the problem is occurring again. this is definitely a safety problem because the airbag may not deploy in an accident or may deploy while driving. the vehicle was under warranty when the first incident occurred but is now out of warranty. we are senior citizens with very limited income and are now told we must pay for the correction of this problem. i am concerned about driving the vehicle with my spouse as a passenger until we can get the vehicle repaired. please let me know if i have any options under the safety defect act.

My airbag light is on and when i took it to the dealer, the passenger airbag module was gone in it and they refused to repair it cause my warranty was expired and there is no recall on the vehicle. i don't understand its a recall on the 2009 model cadillac cts for the airbag but not the 2006. if im in a car accident, it will not deflate. *tr

I was driving the vehicle and was hit from behind and went into a curb. my airbags did not deploy and the car would not restart. the engine completely shut off. the car continue to have problems with the engine and smoking after it was repaired by a gm dealer. we had to turn the car in and file bankruptcy after it stopped working.

I have a cadillac cts 2006 and my air bag light came on. i took the car to the cadillac dealer for diagnosis and they found that the front sensor control module needs to be replaced. i contacted my extended warranty company and they explained that it was not covered under my policy. i paid a $100.00 diagnosis fee but did not get the vehicle repaired because it was over $500.00. several months later i took the car in for routine maintanence and again had the look at the airbag light, again not repaired. i them read on this site the gm had recalled this model for the exact problems i was having. i called gm motors because the same sensor is recalled for cadillac cts models 2005-2006 and the campaign id # is 10v644000, however gm told me that my last diagnosis was too old so i had to pay again $100.00 diagnostic fee to send to gm although i and the dealer knew what was wrong. gm the refused to honor the recall. they stated that the recall was vin specific and my vin was not included in the recalled vehicles. the nhtsa campaign id number :10v644000 that stats: "non-deployment of the front passenger air bag in the event of a crash necessitating that air bags deployment may reduce protection of the passenger and increase the risk or severity of injury to them... dealers will replace the passenger sensing system free of charge..gm safety recall no. 100355" i went forward and repaired it this time as i have paid 3 $100.00 diagnostic fees. this is a way that gm is attempting to rip customers off. any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I had a 2006 cadillac cts. the air bag light came on three times in the first 18 months, it was a brand new car. i took it to dealer service dept, and they said they reset or fixed the problem. i had a car wreck a few months later following an ambulance with my daughter who was having chest pains. someone started to come over in my lane and i swerved. lost control and hit a bridge 4 times. almost every panal was hit on my car as the bridge threw my car around. not one air bag deployed. i was shaken up and sore, but not bleeding, so assumed i was okay. now i am having back and neck problems and headaches. i have since learned that other cts's had same problem but have not heard anything in news. i believe there should have been a recall. why is the media not picked up on this like it is toyota and honda. even though my crash did not result in death. i will have to live with pain and medicine and doctor visits. they should have looked into and fixed, when i had to keep bringing my car back.
