One day when I went to sit in the front passenger seat a message came on the Driver Information Center displaying, "SERVICE AIR BAG" and then I notice that the indicator light on the dash was displaying the Air Bag warning light, and the rearview mirror was showing that the passenger air bag was off. Without the air bag working I cannot ride in the front seat of the car and due to the fact that if we are in a car accident the air bag will not deploy. The dealer has been able to reproduce this issue several times over the last 13 years. Yes, I have been dealing with this issue since 2012, every time I ask to have the seat diagnosed, they say "No we will not be doing that for you" - [XXX] and [XXX] .

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The service air bag light has been on for several years. I called a few years ago and was told it was a recall and Cadillac would stand by it. It would not expire I took it to the Cadillac place. They would not honor it
The contact owns a 2007 Cadillac CTS. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. Additionally, the passenger's side air bag was deactivated while occupied by a passenger. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.
When driving my car will shut off by its self and it has done this the whole time I have had the car... When it shuts off the car gets reads stuck in park because the key gets stuck in ignition... When nights are on and I turn right my height lights come on... And my passenger air bag light came on and won't go off
When getting into the passenger seat and someone weighed enough to activate the air bag to be on the air bag light would flicker. Then after a while the air bag light just stayed on and hasn't turned off even when knowones sitting their. This started happening only when someone would enter the car while stationary with the vehicle on. It's been about 2 months since this has started.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated and indicated to service the air bags. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and stated that the vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v644000 (air bags). Simpson buick gmc of buena park (714‑690‑6200, located at 6600 auto center dr, buena park, ca 90621) was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall. In addition, the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency action number: eq11001 (air bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was not available.
In august 2011, vehicle was taken to dealer in response to recall 10355 with approximately 31,600 miles. Part 19124390 passenger side seat cushion/airbag module was replaced. In february 2019, service airbag light became illuminated and taken to dealership for diagnosis. Mileage was approximately 66,000. The diagnosis was to replace the passenger side seat cushion/ air bag module, which is the same item replaced in august 2011. Even though it has been 7/8 years since repair, the vehicle has been driven less than 35,000. Of those 35,0000, a front passenger was probably in the passenger seat for only 15,000 miles. I believe this second sensor part is defective and should be replaced at cadillac's expense. Documentation including invoices and estimates available upon request.
Takata recall. We heard from gm recall center that our local gm dealer, rally auto, did this recall nov 15, 2013. The airbag light is on again not even 5 years later. We are seniors and do not drive this car that far. We took it in to rally and they put it on a machine and charged us $143 to tell us it would be almost $1000 to fix the airbag module in the passenger seat. In researching, it says that the recalls never expire if the manufacturer and parts availability are still there. We are seniors on limited income and this is exhorbitant fees. They did not check under the seat to see if it might be a simple breakage or bending of wires I don't believe. Can you help us get this fixed? It seems it should not be messed up so soon. Thank you.
The car is running like it is stuck in some kind of safety mode. It does not want to accelerate unless it starts accelerating in third gear. It does not come out of 3rd gear at all. The engine light and airbag lights are lit up on the dash. There is a couple of recalls listed for the same exact year make and model but it says that this VIN number is not under recall. I think that this vehicle needs to be inspected to see if it actually does need to be listed under those recalls. It is not just this one specific VIN number having these issues either. I have talked to quite a few cadillac owners that are having the same problems and their vehicles are not listed under those recalls either. If you turn on the car you put it into drive the car remains stuck in 3rd gear and will not shift through the gears properly.
Takata recall. We have an air bag light on the passenger side. Took in to dealer. Says the code b092 needs pass. Presence. Quoted us almost $1000 for repair. Note that this recall was taken in and done nov 2013. Why is it messing up again? How long is the repair supposed to last? Shouldn't it be fixed at no cost to us?
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts. While driving at any speed, the air bag indicator remained illuminated. The failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the air bags were recalled and repaired in 2011. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
While vehicle is running the radio turns off and on intermittently stationary or moving. The vehicles while driving shut down while driving. The car sometimes won't start when turning on the ignition switch. Airbag lights is on and check voltage light are registering while stationary or driving. The plugs, alternator and core pack was replaced hoping to resolve the issue. Took vehicle to the cadillac dealership but they denied me any service under the recall problems I was experiencing. There position is the recall is VIN. Specific.

- What is wrong
- General motors is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 cadillac cts vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which repeated flexing of the passenger sensing system mat in the front passenger seat may cause the mat to kink, bend, or fold. This flexing can break the connections in the mat. If this occurs, the sensor may not detect the presence of a front seat passenger and will disable the air bag.
- Risk
- 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.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the passenger sensing system free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about march 15, 2011. Owners may contact cadillac at 1‑866‑982‑2339, chevrolet at 1‑800‑630‑2438, gmc at 1‑866‑996‑9463 and at the owner center at www.gmownercenter.com.
