WE KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE ON THE CAR SCREEN THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED WHETHER SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT. CODE IS B0092 PASSENGER DETECTION ERROR. JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT CAR AND REGISTERED IT, CADILLAC DEALERS SAYS NO RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS IN FACT AN ISSUE IF WE ARE IN A CAR ACCIDENT, THE POLICE WILL ASK FIRST THING ABOUT THE AIRBAG. JUST THANKFUL WE KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMETHING EVER HAPPENS. CODE JUST CAME UP TODAY DECEMBER 19, 2017.

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE: I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO EXECUTE AN EMERGENCY STOP GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A COOL DRY ROAD. WHEN I DID, THE CAR POWER, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND REFUSED TO BRAKE ANY MORE THAN IT DID PRIOR TO MY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. MY MOMENTUM WOULD HAVE CARRIED ME INTO THE CAR POSITIONED ONLY A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF ME IF I HADN'T THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO INSTINCTIVELY PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER AS TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK IN ORDER TO BE RESTART IT. IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES FELT SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT. THE SYSTEM LOST ENOUGH PEDAL PRESSURE THAT STOPPING AFTER THAT INCIDENT REQUIRED ME TO DRIVE AT LOW SPEEDS AND GIVE MYSELF MORE DISTANCE; THANKFULLY, I STILL HAD SOME ABILITY TO STOP, AT THAT TIME. I INSPECTED THE BRAKE LINES AND HOSES AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE THAT THE STEEL BRAKE LINES HAD FLUID DRIPPING FROM THEM. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER FRONT WHEEL WELL LINER HAD A SPRAY OF BRAKE FLUID THAT COVERED THE INTERIOR PORTION OF THE LINER, PROXIMALLY, BEHIND THE RIM AND TIRE SIDEWALL. I HAD TESTED THE BRAKES AFTER THAT AND HAVE NO BRAKING ABILITY. I HAVE NOT TOUCHED IT SINCE THAT INCIDENT. THE REST IS ONGOING AND IS SEPARATE FROM THE INCIDENT REPORTED ABOVE. AIR BAGS: THE SYSTEM KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. I'VE READ THE RECALL INFO REGARDING OTHER CADILLAC CARS AND MINE MEETS THE SAME CRITERIA BUT HAS NO RECALL NOTICE. SOMETHING ABOUT THIS COINCIDENCE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE... ENGINE: INTERNAL TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER HAS FAILED AND I HEAR A NOTICEABLE TICKING OF THE CHAIN SLAPPING AGAINST THE SIDEWALL THAT IS EMANATING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. I HAVE SEEN, READ, HEARD OF OTHER INDIVIDUAL OWNER TESTIMONIALS THAT TALK ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE THAT CADILLAC REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT JUST CAME ON EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. ALTHOUGH, THIS WAS ISSUED A RECALL IT IS ONLY ON CERTAIN CARS OF THAT YEAR.

A PASSENGER (6'2" 200 LB.) MAN SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND AS RESULT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I FIGURED IT WAS A SENSOR THAT MUST HAVE SNAPPED OR COME LOOSE. I WENT TO CADILLAC DEALER AND THEY CHARGE $140. TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THEN WANTED ANOTHER $300 TO REPAIR IT. AT NO TIME DID THEY TELL ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. I JUST CALLED THE NUMBER FOR CADILLAC LISTED ON THE RECALL WEBSITE AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE, WHO AFTER I GAVE HIM THE VIN NUMBER ON THE CAR, SAID MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I CALL THE DEALER AND HAVE THAT TAKEN CARE OF...ON MY DIME. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT I SHOULD GET STUCK PAYING FOR THIS. THIS IS WHY I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM CAR AND MANY PEOPLE THAT I SPEAK WITH, HAVE PURCHASED MERCEDES AND OTHER FOREIGN MADE CARS. APPARENTLY CADILLAC DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS HEAD ON COLLISION WITH AN ONCOMING CAR. MY CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING ME TO GET 10 STITCHES, A FRACTURED NOSE, NECK, BACK, CHEST AND ABDOMINAL PAIN. THE AIR BAGS WERE SERVICED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AT THE SPECIFIC BRAND CAR DEALER BUT THIS DID NOT HELP. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC SIGNALS TO PREVENT THIS AND ALSO THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION SEEM TO BE AT FAULT. IF THE DRIVER OF BOTH SIDES STAYS NEXT TO IT THE CARS WILL HIT EACH OTHER. *TR

MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY AND I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD DETECT A PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WENT ONLINE TO DISCOVER THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2005 CADILLAC CTS MODELS. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE GM DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR AND SAID THAT THEY COULD LOOK AT IT BUT I WOULD BE CHARGED TO FIX IT. I THEN CALLED MY NEAREST CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALSO STATED THAT MY CAR HAD NO RECALLS ON IT AND THAT I COULD TAKE IT IN TO BE FIXED BUT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 68,000 MILES AND I FEEL THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

IN JANUARY I HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 CADILLAC CTS FOR A POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR. IN LATE FEBRUARY WHILE ON VACATION, THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON EVERY TIME I STARTED MY CAR. I THEN NOTICED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF MESSAGE ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR SHOWED THE AIR BAG WAS OFF ALL THE TIME. EVEN WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IT SHOWED OFF. UPON RETURNING FROM VACATION IN EARLY MARCH, I CALLED THE CADILLAC DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2004 AND WAS TOLD THAT ACCORDING TO GENERAL MOTORS RECORDS MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG SENSOR (10V-644000). I THEN CALLED CADILLAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. I ASKED WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED WHEN IT APPEARED I WAS HAVING THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED IN THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD I COULD WAIT TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE IN THE FUTURE AND I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT IF I WAITED IT WOULD NEGATE THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A PASSENGER AIR BAG IF IT WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD I COULD HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AT MY EXPENSE BUT AS FAR AS THEY WERE CONCERNED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED RECALL. ON MARCH 7, 2001 I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECK AT MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY VERIFIED THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY INSTALLED THE NEW MODULE KIT AND IT COST ME $451.78. I CALLED CADILLAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED IN THE RECALL. I'M SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED UNDER RECALL 10V-64000. *TR

THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 2/26/2010. THE SAID THE SEAT WEIGHT SENSING MODULE WAS BAD AND OFFERED TO REPAIR IT AT ABOUT $611.00. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I CALLED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 2/22/2011 AFTER DISCOVERING RECALL # 10V644000. I SPOKE TO A MAN NAMED JOHN WHO SAID THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THAT VIN, AND REFUSED TO HELP OR TO REFER ME TO A SUPERVISOR. SIMILARLY, AROUND THE SAME TIME, I HAD TO HAVE THE ECU RE-FLASHED AT A COST OF$110.00, BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SHUDDERING UNDER ACCELERATION. I GOT THE SAME ANSWER, EVEN THOUGH I ADVISED THEM OF RECALL #06V020000, THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A DELIBERATE EFFORT BY CADILLAC NOT TO AVOID PERFORMING RECALLS. I REQUEST THAT THIS VIN BE INCLUDED IN THE ABOVE REFERENCED RECALLS, AND THAT CADILLAC'S PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR BE INVESTIGATED.

I HAVE A 2005 CADILLAC CTS WITH 67,000 MILES. SINCE ABOUT 65,000 MILES CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A RATTLING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE GIVEN THE CAR A TUNE UP, OIL CHANGE AND THE CAR HAS OTHER FLUIDS ARE AT LEVEL. ONCE MY CAR HAS ACCELERATED AND THE GEARS HAVE CHANGED (I.E, SECOND GEAR) THE RATTLING SOUNDS STOPS..THE NOISE IS CONTINUOUS AND ONLY HAPPENS AT ACCELERATION, NOT WHILE IDLING. IN ADDITION EVERY NOW AND AGAIN WHEN A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER GETS IN THE CAR THE AIRBAG SENSOR/LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. UPON DOING MY RESEARCH FOR BOTH THESE ISSUES I FIND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM...HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE SO THAT GM CAN ADDRESS THESE SERIOUS ISSUES WITHOUT HAVING THE CONSUMER/OWNERS HAVING TO PAY AN ARM AND A LEG. *TR

MY US NAVY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CADILLAC CTS WHEN HE WAS STRUCK IN THE REAR BY A NEGLIGENT DRIVER. THE CRASH WAS SO SEVERE, HE WAS FORCED INTO 3 MORE CARS-TOTALING MY CAR. ALL SAFETY FEATURES FAILED - INCLUDING ALL AIRBAGS AND THE SEAT BELT. MY SON WAS SPARED, BUT HE DID SUFFER INJURIES. I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS ATTEMPTING RESOLVE WITH GM FOR SOME ANSWERS - ALL TO NO AVAIL. THEY SPENT SEVERAL HOURS WITH MY VEHICLE, YET PASSED IT OVER TO THEIR 3RD PARTY INSURANCE COMPANY - WHO IN TURN TOOK ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY AND HAD THE NERVE TO PUT IT ALL BACK ON US (PRESERVING THE CAR AND PROVIDING MORE DOCUMENTATION). WHAT MORE DOCUMENTATION DO YOU NEED? YOU SAW THE FAILED SEAT BELT, YOU SAW MY SONS INJURIES AND YOU WITNESSED ALL FAILURES WITH THE AIRBAGS.
