CADILLAC STS 2006 Safety Review #10137787
CADILLAC STS 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 24, 2005.CADILLAC STS 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE . (1) OUR 2006 CADILLAC STS REPEATEDLY FAILS TO SENSE THE OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND FAILS TO TRIGGER THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR TO ACTIVATE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE ONLY WAY THE SENSOR WILL ACTIVATE IS IF THE PASSENGER SQUIRMS AROUND IN THE SEAT IN AN AWKWARD WAY TO HAVE THE SENSOR SENSE THE OCCUPANT. BUT THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE AND ON TWO OCCASIONS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR ACTUALLY SHUT OFF AFTER A REFUELING OPERATION AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE PASSENGER NEVER LEFT THE VEHICLE AND HAD NOT CHANGED POSITION. (2) FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER SENSOR TO SENSE AN OCCUPANT, IF NOT NOTICED BY THE DRIVER, OR PASSENGER AND TAKING ACTION TO ATTEMPT TO RESET IT WOULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG NOT TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. (3) THE DEALERSHIP TRIED FOR OVER A WEEK TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT WOULD ONLY SAY THAT THE PROCEDURE TO ACTIVATE THE SENSOR REQUIRES THE PASSENGER TO ENTER AND SIT IN THE VEHICLE IN A CERTAIN CONVOLUTED WAY THAT IS BASICALLY UN-NATURAL AND IMPOSSIBLE FOR CERTAIN PASSENGERS TO ACHIEVE. AFTER REPEATED CALLS TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RAISING THE ISSUE WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU WE WERE TOLD THAT GM ENGINEERS ARE "NOT ALLOWED TO MODIFY THE AIRBAG SENSOR SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WAS SPECIFIED AND CONTROLLED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT." FURTHER " IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR THEM TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY SYMPATHIZE WITH MY PROBLEM." (4) FROM MY PERSPECTIVE IT APPEARS THAT SOME DESIGN/ENGINEERING CONSTRAINTS HAVE BEEN FORCED ON THE MANUFACTURER BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHICH MAKES THIS SITUATION UNTENABLE AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY SEAT THEMSELVES IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I THINK THE DESIGN SPECS NEED TO BE CHALLENGED AND RECALLS ISSUED TO MAKE THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG SENSORS PROPERLY SENSE AN OCCUPANT THAT ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD EXPECT TO BE PROTECTED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 413 miles.

CADILLAC STS 2006 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2005.CADILLAC STS 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with OTHER . ALL CARS AND SUVS MANUFACTURED BY GM'S CADILLAC DIVISION HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH INSTRUMENT PANELS (IPS) THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO KNOW HOW FAST HE IS GOING ABOVE A CERTAIN SPEED WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN CALIBRATED IN KMH. THE US IS NOW A METRIC COUNTRY AND ALL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS SHOULD BE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND METRIC CALIBRATION. EVERY OTHER DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE IP SPEEDOMETERS THAT READ IN BOTH SYSTEMS. THESE SPEEDOMETER FACEPLATES HAVE A LARGER MPH READING AND A SMALLER KPH ONE BELOW IT SO THAT DRIVERS ALWAYS KNOW HOW FAST THEY ARE DRIVING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP SPEED OF THE VEHICLES. BUT NOT SO CADILLAC. CADILLAC ONLY HAS ONE NUMERIC READING ON THE SPEEDOMETER FACE. THE SPEEDOMETER FACE THEREFORE READS TO 160 IN THE CASE OF THE CADILLAC SRX FOR EXAMPLE. HOWEVER IF THE DRIVER DECIDES TO SWITCH THE IP TO METRIC HE WILL NOT KNOW HOW FAST HE IS GOING ABOVE 160 KPH WHICH IS 100 MPH. YOU MIGHT SAY SO WHAT SINCE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEGALLY DRIVE 100 MPH PLUS IN THE US. PERHAPS, BUT MANY PEOPLE TAKE THEIR CARS TO MEXICO, CANADA AND EUROPE - ALL PLACES WHERE THOSE SPEEDS ARE EITHER TOLERATED OR IN SOME CASES LEGAL. IF CADILLAC CONTINUES TO SELL VEHICLES WITH THIS QUIRK THEY SHOULD ALLOW AS AN OPTION THE ABILITY TO GET THE KPH GRADED SPEEDOMETER (IE THE ONE SOLD IN CANADA, MEXICO, EUROPE, CHINA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA AND EVERYWHERE ELSE). IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ALWAYS KNOW YOUR CORRECT SPEED IN THE TWO SYSTEMS MANDATED BY US LAW. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.CADILLAC STS 2006 problem was reported in NEW YORK, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CADILLAC STS 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 08, 2006.CADILLAC STS 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . OCTOBER 8, 2006 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MY 2006 CADILLAC STS WHERE A TRUCK CROSSED THE MEDIAN ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AND HIT MY CAR IN THE SIDE. THE IMPACT WAS SO SEVERE IT BENT THE CENTER POST BETWEEN THE DOORS AND NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A FEW DAYS EARLIER I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY MOTHER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT AND THE SIGN ON THE MIRROR READ "AIRBAG OFF". CADILLAC ASSIGNED A SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER 1-437819043 BUT TO DATE REFUSE TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE WITH ME. QUESTION: HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS? ARE WE RIDING AROUND WITH THE FALSE IMPRESSION WE ARE PROTECTED?? DECEMBER 7, 2006 I DID HEAR FROM A CADILLAC REPRESENTATIVE TODAY. THE CADILLAC REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED ME MY CAR DID NOT HAVE SIDE AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS AND IT WAS ONLY AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION. I ASKED HIM TO GIVE ME THE OPTION NUMBER. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT AND I TOLD HIM I COULD NOT BELIEVE A REPRESENTATIVE OF CADILLAC WOULD TELL ME SUCH ERRONEOUS INFORMATION. ALL THOSE AIR BAGS ARE STANDARD ON THE STS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY INCOMPETENT GROUP OF PEOPLE AND I HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO A ROCK. ANYHOW THEY ARE GOING TO RETRIEVE THE AIRBAG MONITORING BOX IN AN EFFORT TO RECONSTRUCT WHAT HAPPENED. *NM .Vehicle was involved in a crash. 2 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles.

CADILLAC STS 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 15, 2007.CADILLAC STS 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SUSPENSION . I LEASE A 2006 CADILLAC STS WITH 35,000 MILES DRIVEN. FOR THE PAST 6,000 MILES, AN INCREASING THUMPING NOISE HAS BEEN EMANATING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE CADILLAC DEALER I GOT IT FROM (COUNTRY CADILLAC GMC BUICK, HUNTINGTON, NY) AND THEIR BRIEF SYNOPSIS INDICATED THAT THE TIRES WERE WORN OUT, BECAUSE THERE ARE FLAT SPOTS ON THEM CAUSING THE THUMPING. THE PROBLEM IS, CADILLAC EXPLICITLY WARRANTY?S THE TIRES FROM DEFECTS FOR FULL REPLACEMENT DURING THE BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE OF 5 YEAR/50,000 MILES. I CONTACTED MICHELIN TO DISCUSS WARRANTY COVERAGE AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO BRING THE CAR INTO A SERVICE CENTER TO ANALYZE FOR WARRANTY. THEIR ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT ANY WEAR OF THIS TYPE IS MECHANICAL IN NATURE, AND IT IS A ROOT CAUSE WITHIN THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. I CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE SPECIFICALLY (AND ADAMANTLY) REQUESTED THAT A REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE FROM CADILLAC COME TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REVIEW THE CAR WITH ME & THE DEALERS SERVICE MANAGER. AFTER FULLY DISCLOSING ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TREAD LIFE (WHICH MICHELIN CLEARLY CLAIMS THAT THERE IS A MINIMUM OF 3/32" ACTIVE LIFE LEFT BEFORE THE LOW LEVEL INDICATOR BANDS ARE BREACHED) AND THAT THE "FLAT SPOTS" ARE NOT NORMAL TREAD WEAR, AND THAT I REQUIRE A MEETING TO REVIEW THE SITUATION. I RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMING ME THAT THIS IS ALSO NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. THIS IS THE PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT MY CAR HAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM. THIS WEAR IRREGULARITY IS CURRENTLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND I NEED NEW TIRES BEFORE AN INCIDENT HAPPENS. MY CONTENTION IS THIS; CADILLAC IS IGNORING THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM, BLAMING IT ON "WORN OUT" TIRES, WHEN IN FACT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I WILL REPLACE THESE TIRES, BUT THE POINT IS CADILLAC REALLY SHOULD, AND ALSO SHOULD ACTIVELY BE REVIEWING THE CAR FRONT END FOR DEFECTS; ONE WHICH DETERIORATES CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENTS ON MY CAR. *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 35000 miles.

CADILLAC STS 2006 car safety problem was reported on Dec 23, 2010.CADILLAC STS 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . A DEC '10 PRESS RELEASE (HTTP://MEDIA.GM.COM) ANNOUNCED A RECALL OF 2005 - 2007 CADILLAC CTS' FOR A SPECIFIC AIR BAG ISSUE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. PARAGRAPH 5 OF THE RELEASE READS IN PART "OWNERS OF CERTAIN OTHER 2005-2007 THAT HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER INCIDENT RATES WILL BE PROVIDED FREE REPAIRS FOR THE ISSUE FOR UP TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES." I DRIVE A 2006 STS (VS CTS) AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN 'OWNERS LETTER.' THE CAR, HOWEVER DISPLAYS THE EXACT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE DESCRIBED IN THE RELEASE. THE INDICATIONS OCCURRED NO MORE THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE 12/10 PUBLICATION. NUMEROUS CONTACTS WITH CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE RESULTED IN REFUSALS TO AUTHORIZE REPAIRS TO MY CAR. ONE CSR OFFERED TO HAVE THE REPAIRS PAID FOR SHOULD I PICK UP THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSTICS AND THE ERROR BE EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL SPECIFIES. A COMPLAINT FILED IN APRIL WITH THE WI DEPT OF AG, TRADE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS RESULTED IN A CALL TODAY (5/16) FROM A REP OF GM'S BUSINESS RESOURCE CENTER ADVISING THAT THEY WILL AGAIN REFUSE MY REQUEST BECAUSE "...THE STS MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL." THERE WAS NO REPLY WHEN ASKED WHETHER THE STS HAD BEEN INCLUDED IN TESTING WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION PRIOR TO THE RECALL. SHE REITERATED THAT CADILLAC MAY PAY FOR REPAIRS AFTER DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IN MY CAR WOULD FAIL IF NEEDED. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE TWO MODELS SHARE A SIGNIFICANT-ENOUGH LEVEL OF ENGINEERING, PARTS AND ASSEMBLY THAT CADILLAC SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. CONSIDERING (1) THE ISSUE ISN'T A POTENTIAL PROBLEM BUT ACTUALLY EXISTS IN MY CAR, AND (2) THEIR REFERENCE OF "...CERTAIN OTHER 2005-2007 MODELS" INDICATES THEIR/YOUR SUSPICION THAT THE ISSUE CROSSES OVER TO OTHER MODELS, I FIND THEIR POSITION THAT I SHOULD PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS UNACCEPTABLE. MY REQUEST IS THAT CADILLAC DIAGNOSE AND FIX MY AIR BAG ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. I INTEND TO PURSUE THE ISSUE THROUGH THE STATE AND OTHER MEANS. UPDATED 05/24/11 *TR.Mileage was 51500 miles.

AT APPROXIMATELY 72,000 MILES MY CADILLAC'S PASSENGER SEAT LIGHT BEGAN TO ACT UP AND WOULD GO ON AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE WOULD SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I AM SINGLE AND RARELY EVER HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. APPROXIMATELY TWO TIMES PER MONTH SOMEONE RIDES IN THIS SEAT.

I TAKE EXTRAORDINARY CARE OF MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $629.00. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED IN THE CADILLAC CTS MODEL OF THE SAME YEAR. MY QUESTION AND COMPLAINT ARE: DID THE MODULES COME FROM THE SAME PLACE AND/OR ARE THEY THE SAME MODULE AND PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM.
