Several times I have experienced that when turning right into a parking space my car does not want to come to a stop,my brakes become hard and to come to a stop I have to keep pumping the brakes.I am very scared to even go into a parking space.dont know if my car is gonna stop or keep going.the first time this happened to me is when first purchased the car,but being that u can use this car as stick or standard I thought maybe I did something wrong,I almost went into my apartment building.I am afraid that I might get into an accident with my grandchildren in the car or even hit someone walking.
The rear driver's side panel that held the air bag came apart. I have not taken the vehicle to the dealer yet. If this panel is not in correctly and the air bag deploys, the panel may not separate correctly and cause injury to any passenger.

Driver information center (dic) began suddenly displaying "service airbag soon" alert when passenger is seated within vehicle. Cursory inspection revealed no obvious problem with airbag system components to include visible wiring and accessible sensor connection points. This problem appears to be consistent with the condition addressed in gm recall number 10355 (the federal safety agency campaign id 10v644000). The referenced recall includes certain "2006 model year cadillac cts and cts-v vehicles"; however, gm's customer service center is stating that my particular 2006 cts VIN# is not showing any outstanding recalls at this time.

2006 cadillac cts airbag defective. Received recall notice last week. Took car in for repair, and it was rescheduled due to needing more parts. Next day, car was totaled in a front end collision.

Air bag recall by gm in december. I call the cadillac customer service enquiring about the recall for the passenger seat airbag for certain cts from 2005-2010 to find out that I have not received any notice and my passenger or airbag system is still disabled since I reported it to gm in 2010 and for them to tell me if my cts was included. The cadillac customer service looked in the computer with my VIN number and she could not find anything. I asked which cts from 2006 and other years was recall and she did not find anything. She asked me to call in two months and see if my car is included. I can not understand if a recall was announce in december 2010, why it would take so long for gm- cadillac to determine which specific cts is involve in this recall unless the longer they wait, it will disqualify more owners if they use a mileage limit on the recall. The longer they wait the more mileage owners put in their cts thus increasing the amount of cts that they have to fix by disqualifying owners according to mileage. This is a serious safety issue hat should not take 4 months or more to notify owners or determine which cts is to be recall. The nsta should push for gm and all manufacturers to have a certain date which they have to notify owners to have the safety problem fixed. Any day that passes by it increases the likelihood of a cadillac owner or persons getting seriously hurt because of a manufacturers delaying or slow to react tactics. Your help from the federal safety agency in this matter will be appreciated.
A week after I purchased a 2006 cadillac cts in november, 2010, the service passenger airbag light came on. I took the vehicle back to the dealer (because I had purchased an extended warranty through them). They told me they ordered the part necessary and that it would be very expensive to fix it. I did some research and found out about a gm recall. Time has gone by and the problem still exists. I called the number given for the cadillac division included in the article about the recall. The gentleman told me my vehicle (based upon my VIN number was not included in the recall. I told the gentleman that someone was to take care of the problem because if I had an accident and the bad did not deploy causing injury or death to my passenger, I would sue gm. I guess that got his attention because arrangements were made and my car is in the shop now being repaired. That gentleman issued a service request #71-926652841 and has called me back a couple of times. He keeps wanting me to say I am now satisfied. I will not be satisfied until the safety issue has been solved. Also, that gentleman has told me several times to not believe the things I find on the internet unless they are actually on the gm site. I got my information about the recall from the federal safety agency site. And, in my opinion, that is an official site.
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 federal safety agency 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 have a cadillac cts 2006 and my air bag light came on for no reason. I took the car to the cadillac dealer for diagnosis and they found out that the front sensor control module needs to be replaced. I called gm motors, because I found out the same sensor is recalled for cadillac cts models 2005-2006 and the campaign id # is 10v644000, however gm told me that my car is too old to honor the recall and they refuse to replace it. Here is the federal safety agency campaign id number :10v644000 that stats: "non-deployment of the front passenger air bag in the event of a crash necessitating that air bag's 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 am not sure why my car is too old for them and not qualifying for the recall since is the exact year for the recall 2006, the exact model - cts, with the exact problem description for the recall. Please help and thank you for your time.

I have a 2006 cadillac cts,while on vacation I noticed my car needed to be inspected so I decided to get it inspected when I get to my destination on my way in my (passenger side air bag light ) comes on when I take it to get inspected it failed so I took it to the nearest cadillac dealer to have it checked out they wanted to charge me a 100 dollars to diagnose the problem I told them I would be back. I went online to see about resetting the light and a lot of recalls for this problem showed up I then called the cadillac assistance 800 # talked to a few people they were aware of the recall but told me I have to wait and see if my car falls under the recall so I tried to get the number to the corp and they wouldn't give it to me and told me they couldn't do anything for me now I have a rejected inspection on my car and can not go to work you would think that if they are having so many complaints that they would do something about it. It appears to me that cadillac doesn't care about the safety of the public and cadillac owners what are they going to do about this problem.
