What 2007 Cadillac STS owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The service airbags warning appeared on my car. It was just parked for 2 days and when I got in it turned on. This is a common issue that has occurred with multiple people.
On my way home today the service light airbag come on stating that the airbag needs to be serviced.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 cadillac sts. The contact stated that when an occupant was seated in the front passenger seat, the passenger side air bag sensor did not illuminate. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing the same symptom as listed in the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v644000 (air bags). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the passenger seat switch module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified, but was not able to assist. The failure mileage was 169,000.
Air bag light came on and the dic indicates the air bag requires service. Upon investigation, the passenger presence sensor in the passenger seat is shot. The air bags are disabled and it's a thousand dollar repair at the dealer. Rarely does anybody sit in the passenger seat. It appears that this passenger side sensor is a common failure in other gm models as well.
. This is my first time owning a cadillac and I must say I absolutely love it! It is a 2007 sts so it is older but in excellent condition with only around 65,000 miles on it. However I have been very recently disappointed by the service response from my airbag malfunction. I recently noticed my air bag light sensor was intermittently turning on and off and immediately brought it into earnhardt cadillac of scottsdale for fear of a safety issue. I received a call from steven from services who explained that the wiring harness would have to be replaced before he could even further diagnose the air bag wiring issue. He explained that the air bag would most likely not deploy in an accident. He explained that the harness itself would be $485 and only once he repaired that would he be able to further evaluate the air bag issue. I asked if cadillac stands behind the repair of such a safety concern and he said only under the warranty and also stated there was no recalls on this car model. I was very disappointed to hear a car with such low mileage would have such a horrific safety issue that cadillac is not willing to repair or replace. I'm reaching out to you to see if indeed that is the case or if cadillac would be willing to repair this safety hazard. I had a honda several years ago and the air bag was replaced immediately for the safety of all drivers and passengers. I'm hoping cadillac would stand behind its reputation and do the same. It appears as if there are several identical complaints about this car model and even some horrific damage to passengers when the air bag did not deploy. This safety issue needs to be recalled and addressed immediately.
Airbag light is on and it's comment in many
2007 cadillac sts. Consumer writes in regards to airbag sensor indicator light repair/cost issues. *smd the consumer was informed the air bag sensor which was causing the air bag light to illuminate was not covered and it would cost $ 850.00.
The airbag light turns on while driving ; I noticed the 2007 cadillac cts has the same issue and was recalled the sts was not. The vehicles are the same.
Service airbag system light remains on at startup. Periodically the light will not remain on but more often than not it remains on. When light remains on the vehicle may be stationary or in motion.
