2006 cadillac cts "service air bag" light on months after a crash. Air bags did not deploy during crash.
Airbag light illuminates due to defective module beneath passenger seat. Car has not been involved in an accident and only has 42,000 miles. Gm has already issued a recall on select model years for the same issue. Unfortunately the 2006 model is not yet included in the recall. It should be.
2006 cadillac cts "service air bag" light is on. I took it to the dealer who stated the sensor needs to be replaced. The car is out of the warranty and the extended warranty doesn't cover this. The cost is $754.00. This is ludicrous as the air bags have never been used.
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.

Defective airbag sensor on a 2006 cadillac cts with only 43000 miles
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
