2007 Cadillac CTS airbags complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 64, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
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. After starting the engine, the "service air bag" message displayed and remained illuminated. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer (autonation cadillac, 2101 45th st, west palm beach, fl) were notified, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 26,000.
Was driving and service brake assist message came on two days ago along with the ABS t/c light on the dash. I had no idea what it meant so I've kept driving. About an hour ago I was getting ready to park into my garage and the brakes would not work and I almost crashed into a parked car. Again the service brake assist light came on. I'm 7 months pregnant and this is my only transportation. I'm not looking to get into an accident due to my brakes failing. My service air bags message also comes up and even with a passenger in the car it doesn't state that the passenger air bag is on. I am pretty sure both of these issues were part of a recall but I hadn't owned the car during that time. As of now this car is a fatal accident waiting to happen and I'm unsure as to why there isn't still an open recall to address this brake failure issue.
Takata inflators. I have a loud cracking noise in several places behind the dash. Sometimes it happens when the car is still but mostly while driving on interstates. The loudest cracking noise is in the center of the dash. With the takata airbag recall I am afraid that this could be part of that. The car only has 11,000miles on it but the cracking has occurred since the car was new.

My 2007 cadillac cts has had problem after problem since I purchased it used at 60,000 miles!! I am now experiencing seriously dangerous & hazardous brake issues when parking &/or turning the wheel all the way!! The brakes pulsate & go to the floor but fail to stop!! The service brake light comes on & the ABS/tc light as well, but then will go off before I can make it to the dealer!! When I parked on a hill my car failed to stay parked & started to drift backwards down the hill so I had to jump in & hit the brakes manually!! Also the passenger airbag light doesn't recognize when someone is in the passenger seat. The service airbag light would come on the dash & information center then now it is staying on at 90,000 miles. I contacted gmc about the brake issues & they told me there was no recalls for any brake issues!! I also asked about the recall for the airbag for my 2007 vehicle but they informed me it wasn't for my VIN # but it is having the same exact issues as the recall!! Someone is going to get seriously injured due to these hazards!! Gmc/cadillac needs to step up & correct these issues before it is to late!! How many more people have to get injured, die, or complain before these issues are addressed!!! This is supposed to be a luxury car but it is more like a junk car death trap!!!!

In december of 2010 there was a recall for the passenger side air bag sensor. That recall was completed on july 7, 2011. I bought this used car with very low mileage on june 15, 2013. On august 7, 2015 the air bag sensor went out. The dealership said that since the recall had already been done they would not do it for free a second time. It sounds to me like the recall was replaced with a faulty part as well. I am very disappointed with this cadillac and will never buy another one. I have had nothing but problems since I drove it off the lot.

Our car is experiencing an issue with the passenger side airbag, which matches exactly the description and symptoms in the federal safety agency campaign id 10v644000 and gm safety recall 100355. The gm dealers keep saying our VIN doesn't match the plant where the cars with the problem airbags were manufactured and will not replace as stated in the recall, but our car has the exact issue as shown in the recall.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ gm subject 10287 concerning timing chain issue. Gm put a band aid fix on this and gave a special warranty to 120,000 to repair any issues with timing chain until 120,000 miles. Our timing chain went out at 121,000 and I feel gm should honor the special warranty. Timing chain issue was not explained to us when the band aid fix was applied and timing chain issue started before 120,000 miles.
Service air bag light comes on.
