2006 CADILLAC CTS Air Bags Problems

Well I am uncertain but we have two 2006 Cadillac cts and both have had multiple transmissions replaced. Multiple differential problems and air bag and wireing problems

Service airbag light on dash is on. No one ever sits in the passenger front seat. The rear view mirror indicates that the passenger seat airbag is off. I dont know how to turn it on just to see if the RVM will indicate an on position. I took the car in for a diagnosis and it it indicated that the PPS Module needs replacement. ($1280.79) Even if I do find out how to turn it on I would be afraid to turn it on if it’s going to explode that’s my problem what should I do

I am deaf and the “service Air Bag” and the symbol came on several times and I took it to a certified mechanic who spent two days checking. This is the what he said upon diagnosis, “ The part you need for the air bag light has been discontinued not available anymore.” I met him in person and he said the same thing. This is a safety issue. Please help! Thank you!

Thank these things i feel cadilac should consider fixing due to milage before and after i purchased the cadilac due to the miles before and after purchase. Due to being 100% disabled since 2009, Air bag & safety belt system light comes on when i have onstar diagnose the problem they said it has something to do with my seat belt system on passenger side which mind you isnt used often at all and cadilac will not help with the cost and was told by onstar it needs repairs asap because it could cause air bags to pop out while driving or not come out during a crash. Im afraid some times driving it. In the 7yrs of owning this i maybe put around 40,000 miles on the car its in good condition. Which lead me to the other problem due to miles. When i purchased the cadilac a few days later the check engine light came on it was the catalytic converter it was almost $800 it has two of them the dealer repaired it. Here the other day i had onstar do a complete system scan and the report showed the converter was in the process of going out again but just hasnt triggered my check engine lite. I was shocked because of the miles i drivewhich is under 6000 miles a yr and i use top grade fuel there isnt any way these converters should be going out they should have lasted for the rest of my life and the cars life i take very good care of it changing the oils on a regular bases and other cares are met but when talk to cadilac they didnt even consider my care and miles driven at all or find out why tne converter is needed twice since i owned the car when most cars never need converter replacement. Im 62 yrs old, these are concerns i have but mostly the treatment by cadilac (GM) the safety part being on passenger side that seat never hardly get used but could cause air bags to open while driving and two convertersin 6-7 years of ownership when most cars never need one and othhers just once. Which tells me theres a problem some where else causing it to not work properly, but it didnt matter.

THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR DASH & RADIO APPEARED 6/24/2015. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT BAYVIEW CADILLAC, FT. LAUDERDALE. FL ON 6/27/2015. I WAS ADVISED THAT PROBLEM WAS THAT AIRBAG SENSOR IN PASSENGER SET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT PRICE OF $800. FURTHER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR, WHICH THE SERVICE TECH DESCRIBED AS "PILLOW LIKE," PROBABLY HAD A KINK IN IT. THERE WAS A RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V105000), HOWEVER, BOTH BAVIEW CADILLAC AND GM RECALL CENTER ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. I SPOKE TO GM RECALL CENTER AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE NUMBER 71-1494438978. I WAS TOLD THAT GM WOULD OFFER NO RELIEF ON REPAIR COST. I CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND $800 ON A NON MECHANICAL, WARNING LIGHT ISSUE. I WILL MOST LIKELY ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE WARNING LIGHT. I WAS TOLD BY BOTH LOCAL AND CENTRAL GM/CADILLAC PERSONNEL THAT THE AIRBAG IS STILL OPERATIVE DESPITE THE MALFUNCTIONING WARNING LIGHT. BECAUSE NHTSA PUBLIC INFO DOES NOT PROVIDE VIN #'S, RATHER THE TERM "CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 CADILLAC CTS VEHICLES," I MUST DEPEND ON GM'S HONESTY ... WHICH I DO. MY REASON FOR REGISTERING AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT IS TO ALERT NHTSA THAT ADDITIONAL VEHICLES MAY BE INVOLVED.

DIAGNOSIS AT A CADILLAC DEALER VERIFIED THE PROBLEM TO BE IDENTICAL TO THE REASON FOR RECALL 10V-644 (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : EQ11001.) THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER SAID MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIR SINCE MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL POPULATION. I HAD HIM READ THE FOLLOWING FROM DEFECT INVESTIGATIONS RESULTS: NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : EQ11001: ACCORDING TO ITS 10V-644 DEFECT REPORT, GM REPORTED THAT SOME VEHICLES OUTSIDE THE RECALL POPULATION HAVE "...SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER INCIDENT RATES AND WILL BE PROVIDED A SPECIAL COVERAGE." THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE INCLUDES A FREE REPAIR SHOULD THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR TO NON-RECALLED 2005-2007 CADILLAC CTS VEHICLES UP TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. HE STILL INSISTED THAT SINCE MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE RECALL POPULATION IT DID NOT MERIT REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. *JS

AIR BAG RECALL BY GM IN DECEMBER. I CALL THE CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE ENQUIRING ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG FOR CERTAIN CTS FROM 2005-2010 TO FIND OUT THAT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE AND MY PASSENGER OR AIRBAG SYSTEM IS STILL DISABLED SINCE I REPORTED IT TO GM IN 2010 AND FOR THEM TO TELL ME IF MY CTS WAS INCLUDED. THE CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE LOOKED IN THE COMPUTER WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND SHE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I ASKED WHICH CTS FROM 2006 AND OTHER YEARS WAS RECALL AND SHE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. SHE ASKED ME TO CALL IN TWO MONTHS AND SEE IF MY CAR IS INCLUDED. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND IF A RECALL WAS ANNOUNCE IN DECEMBER 2010, WHY IT WOULD TAKE SO LONG FOR GM- CADILLAC TO DETERMINE WHICH SPECIFIC CTS IS INVOLVE IN THIS RECALL UNLESS THE LONGER THEY WAIT, IT WILL DISQUALIFY MORE OWNERS IF THEY USE A MILEAGE LIMIT ON THE RECALL. THE LONGER THEY WAIT THE MORE MILEAGE OWNERS PUT IN THEIR CTS THUS INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF CTS THAT THEY HAVE TO FIX BY DISQUALIFYING OWNERS ACCORDING TO MILEAGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HAT SHOULD NOT TAKE 4 MONTHS OR MORE TO NOTIFY OWNERS OR DETERMINE WHICH CTS IS TO BE RECALL. THE NSTA SHOULD PUSH FOR GM AND ALL MANUFACTURERS TO HAVE A CERTAIN DATE WHICH THEY HAVE TO NOTIFY OWNERS TO HAVE THE SAFETY PROBLEM FIXED. ANY DAY THAT PASSES BY IT INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CADILLAC OWNER OR PERSONS GETTING SERIOUSLY HURT BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURERS DELAYING OR SLOW TO REACT TACTICS. YOUR HELP FROM NHTSA IN THIS MATTER WILL BE APPRECIATED. *TR

A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED A 2006 CADILLAC CTS IN NOVEMBER, 2010, THE SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER (BECAUSE I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH THEM). THEY TOLD ME THEY ORDERED THE PART NECESSARY AND THAT IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ABOUT A GM RECALL. TIME HAS GONE BY AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I CALLED THE NUMBER GIVEN FOR THE CADILLAC DIVISION INCLUDED IN THE ARTICLE ABOUT THE RECALL. THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME MY VEHICLE (BASED UPON MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I TOLD THE GENTLEMAN THAT SOMEONE WAS TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THE BAD DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH TO MY PASSENGER, I WOULD SUE GM. I GUESS THAT GOT HIS ATTENTION BECAUSE ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE AND MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW BEING REPAIRED. THAT GENTLEMAN ISSUED A SERVICE REQUEST #71-926652841 AND HAS CALLED ME BACK A COUPLE OF TIMES. HE KEEPS WANTING ME TO SAY I AM NOW SATISFIED. I WILL NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL THE SAFETY ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED. ALSO, THAT GENTLEMAN HAS TOLD ME SEVERAL TIMES TO NOT BELIEVE THE THINGS I FIND ON THE INTERNET UNLESS THEY ARE ACTUALLY ON THE GM SITE. I GOT MY INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECALL FROM THE NHTSA SITE.

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.
