| Defect Summary | 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | 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. | |||||||||||||||

| On december 17, 2010, general motors (gm) notified the nhtsa that it had decided certain 2005 - 2007 model year cadillac cts vehicles contain a safety related defect.gm stated that certain cts vehicles contain a passenger sensing system mat, manufactured by iee, in the front passenger seat that may flex causing the mat to kink, bend or fold.if this flexing causes the connections in the mat to break, the passenger airbag could become disabled.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.this issue was assigned recall number 10v-644.on february 8, 2011, rmd mailed an information request (ir) letter to iee requesting a list of purchasers for any company that was sold the same or similar defective mats.rmd also requested iee supply the year, make and models of compatible vehicles for each of the mats it listed in its response.iee responded on february 15, 2011, reporting that the mats recalled in gm recall 10v-644 were developed specifically for the 2005-2007 cadillac cts.iee noted that, ...the cts sensor mat is not the same or similar to any other sensor mat manufactured by iee.iee further explained that the sensor mats were sold to lear corp. (lear), for incorporation into seat assemblies, with the seat assemblies finally being sold to gm.also, some sensor mats were sold to integrated manufacturing and assembly, llc (ima) who would then re-sell the mats to gm to use as service parts.ultimately, these parts were all sold to gm for use in the 2005-2007 cadillac cts vehicles.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.on april 7, 2011, rmd mailed an ir letter to gm to gather more information on gm's decision to only recall a portion of the vehicles that contained the subject iee mats.rmd also requested that gm provide updated to current warranty claims, field reports, and other field information for cts vehicles both recalled and those under the special coverage.on may 19, 2011, gm responded with a letter and several cd attachments that were submitted to nhtsa's office of the chief counsel along with a request for confidentiality.gm confirmed that the iee mats recalled in 10v-644 were only used in the 2005-2007 cadillac cts.gm also explained its reasoning in only recalling a portion of the cts vehicles containing iee mats.due to various production phases, error detections, and false corrections, certain vehicles were more prone to mat failures than other vehicles.gm identified 4 distinct seat assembly production periods and chose to recall cts vehicles depending on which seat assembly each vehicle received.examining the data submitted in regards to warranty claims, field reports, and incidents, the cts vehicles that were included in the safety recall were responsible for about 80% of the overall claims.cts vehicles included in the special coverage (essentially an extended warranty), those with seat assemblies from other identified production phases, were responsible for about 20% of the overall claims.as gm has provided clear data to support its recall decision and since no other manufacturer has installed these same or similar passenger sensing system mats / seat assemblies in their vehicles, this equipment query is satisfied.this eq is closed. | ||||||

| 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 seriosly hurt because of a manufacturers delaying or slow to react tactics. your help from nsta in this matter will be appreciated. | |||

| I have a cadillac cts 2006 and my air bag light came on. i took the car to the cadillac dealer for diagnosis and they found that the front sensor control module needs to be replaced. i contacted my extended warranty company and they explained that it was not covered under my policy. i paid a $100.00 diagnosis fee but did not get the vehicle repaired because it was over $500.00. several months later i took the car in for routine maintanence and again had the look at the airbag light, again not repaired. i them read on this site the gm had recalled this model for the exact problems i was having. i called gm motors because the same sensor is recalled for cadillac cts models 2005-2006 and the campaign id # is 10v644000, however gm told me that my last diagnosis was too old so i had to pay again $100.00 diagnostic fee to send to gm although i and the dealer knew what was wrong. gm the refused to honor the recall. they stated that the recall was vin specific and my vin was not included in the recalled vehicles. the nhtsa campaign id number :10v644000 that stats: non-deployment of the front passenger air bag in the event of a crash necessitating that air bags deployment may reduce protection of the passenger and increase the risk or severity of injury to them... dealers will replace the passenger sensing system free of charge..gm safety recall no. 100355 i went forward and repaired it this time as i have paid 3 $100.00 diagnostic fees. this is a way that gm is attempting to rip customers off. any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. | |||

| I had a 2006 cadillac cts. the air bag light came on three times in the first 18 months, it was a brand new car. i took it to dealer service dept, and they said they reset or fixed the problem. i had a car wreck a few months later following an ambulance with my daughter who was having chest pains. someone started to come over in my lane and i swerved. lost control and hit a bridge 4 times. almost every panal was hit on my car as the bridge threw my car around. not one air bag deployed. i was shaken up and sore, but not bleeding, so assumed i was okay. 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. they should have looked into and fixed, when i had to keep bringing my car back. | |||

| Air bag light on. i call cadillac and they advised me to take it immediately to the dealer. i ask the representative if they have received complaints on the same problem and he said a few. i asked him if its under warranty and he said that he will forward it to the warranty person who will handle my case. however, they will need a report from the dealer on the problem and if the dealer finds the part defective they will replace it at no cost to me. he connected me to the healey brothers the nearest dealer to my home. i made the appointment and before i made the appointment the dealer representative tried to informed me that if the car was not in a crash the part may be defective. the gm representative was still on the line and immediately cut off the dealer and stated you are to check the car and get back to me and we will handle it from there. i made the appointment & took the car on november 17, 2009. i had to pay the dealer for the diagnosis of $113.29. they inspected the car in and out for any crash damage and they found none and commented on how well i take care of the car. they a computer checked and found failure code set b0092 for circuit malfunction traced to failure within the seat and must replace module to enable airbag system to work/operate. they gm customer assistance case # 71-776491182 and advice of repair needed and cost of $920.93 and it did not include the $113.00 that i paid for. i received a call a day later and the gm representative told me that the cars warranty expired however, they will offer me a resolution to me by reducing some of the labor repair and a maintenance package if i agree to absorb the rest of the cost. i explain that i should not absorb any cost. he stated let me speak to my boss and ill get back to you and ill call you back with a decision. i did not get a return call. i left a message to the gm representative justin pepper and have not received return calls since. *tr | |||

( safety warning air bag would not deploy for any reason.) had senor module replaced at cost of $ 596.18 in reviewing the log this model year has had a number of this type of occurrence. what is needed to have a recall for this problem? how many air bags are disconnected due to cost of repair ? if a 3 year old car has a major safety component (air bag ) not working. what can be deemed when the majority of the cars reach 5 years? seat belts and air bags are for the passengers safety. this is a family car. *tr | |||

| 2006 cadillac cts airbag defective. received recall notice last week. took car in for repair, and it was rescheduled due to needing more parts. next day, car was totaled in a front end collision. airbags did not deploy, and daughter's head slammed into steering wheel causing concussion, facial contusions, including four broken teeth (major dental repair will be required), as well as a leg contusion. recall notice states that there are no injuries associated with the recall. where do i report? | |||

| 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. and, in my opinion, that is an official site. | |||

| I have a 2006 cadillac cts,while on vacation i noticed my car needed to be inspected so i decided to get it inspected when i get to my destanation on my way in my (passanger side air bag light ) comes on when i take it to get inspected it failed so i took it to the nearest cadillac dealer to have it checked out they wanted to charge me a 100 dollars to diagnose the problem i told them i would be back.i went online to see about resetting the light and a lot of recalls for this problem showed up i then called the cadillac assistance 800 # talked to a few people they were aware of the rewcall but told me i have to wait and see if my car falls under the recall so i tried to get the number to the corp and they would'nt give it to me and told me they could'nt do anything for me now i have a rejacted inspection on my car and can not go to work you would think that if they are having so many complaints that they would do something about it.it appears to me that cadillac does'nt care about the safety of the public and cadillac owners what are they going to do about this problem. | |||

| Airbag light illuminates due to defective module beneath passenger seat. car has not been involved in an accident and only has 42,000 miles. gm has already issued a recall on select model years for the same issue. unfortunately the 2006 model is not yet included in the recall. it should be. | |||

| On my 2006 cadillac cts, i experienced a defect in the passenger frontal airbag. this occurred in august, 2009. i took the vehicle to the local cadillac dealer and the problem was supposedly corrected. now seven months later, the same defect light is coming on indicating the problem is occurring again. this is definitely a safety problem because the airbag may not deploy in an accident or may deploy while driving. the vehicle was under warranty when the first incident occurred but is now out of warranty. we are senior citizens with very limited income and are now told we must pay for the correction of this problem. i am concerned about driving the vehicle with my spouse as a passenger until we can get the vehicle repaired. please let me know if i have any options under the safety defect act. | |||

| 2006 cadillac cts passenger side air bag sensor . original problem was the service air bag light came on the dash approximate mileage 68700. took the car in for service and came back as passenger side module had failed. ( safety warning air bag would not deploy for any reason.) had senor module replaced at cost of $ 596.18 in reviewing the log this model year has had a number of this type of occurrence. what is needed to have a recall for this problem? how many air bags are disconnected due to cost of repair ? if a 3 year old car has a major safety component (air bag ) not working. what can be deemed when the majority of the cars reach 5 years? seat belts and air bags are for the passengers safety. this is a family car. *tr | |||

| My airbag light is on and when i took it to the dealer, the passenger airbag module was gone in it and they refused to repair it cause my warranty was expired and there is no recall on the vehicle. i don't understand its a recall on the 2009 model cadillac cts for the airbag but not the 2006. if im in a car accident, it will not deflate. *tr | |||
