Takata recall. My psgr airbag light stays on saying psgr airbag off. I saw where certain vehicles were recalled for this. They all have the same problem. Will my vehicle get in the recall or will there be future recalls
Air bag service light on dash and red air bag symbol is showing on the dash board
The contact owns a 2010 cadillac cts. The contact statedthat the service air bag indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to dale willey automotive (2840 iowa st, lawrence, ks 66046, (785) 727-1124) where it was diagnosed that the air bag module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. This is a known issue and not covered under recall. Safety concern with airbag concern with airbag failure. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 114,000.
My car alarm keeps beeping for no reason when parked. As soon as i start the car, the airbag light goes on. The dashboard warning light says that my tire is flat; so, i changed all four tires, and it's still giving drastically inaccurate readings often. Sometimes it says that my tire is flat-- 0 pressure, and sometimes, it says that it has low pressure. My programmed radio stations keep deleting from memory. I took my car to a repair shop to find out what's going on, and they can't figure it out.
Sporadically, a "service air bag" warning comes on when engine is running. Also, in a few instances, the airbag readiness light has stayed on after completion of the brief system check which occurs when the engine is started. The dealers service department reviewed the matter and found that the history code for the passenger seat air bag "cleared codes", indicating that air bag is in working order. It recommended that if the service warning and readiness light were on frequently, the passenger seat air bag should be replaced at a cost of $912. I do not know why the dealer focused only on that one air bag. This issue sounds like the problem for which gm recently recalled certain sport utility vehicles for years including 2010, our model year. I believe it should be determined whether that recall should be extended to cover additional vehicles, including ours.updated 04/08/14
While driving down the highway/freeway both driver and passenger side curtain air bags spontaneously deployed. I do not know as to why the air bags spontaneously deployed but i have seen other instances were this has occurred online.

Takata recall - airbag passenger side mechanism is defective.cadillac says $900 to replace, plus labor.will not pass inspection.i can't afford replacement.can't sell the vehicle until it's fixed.
Air bag warning light indicating that passenger air bag is in need of maintenance.advised by pine belt cadillac that there may be a malfunction and they said they cleaned the connectors.the warning code#b0014 appeared again in november indicating that the connection at the air bag had a poor connection, at which time i responded back to the dealership and was advised that i would have to replace the canister at a cost to me of $608.00.the service person said that the airbag system would not function unless this was corrected.the diagnostics alone were $116.00.this is related to safest equipment and i feel it should not be a cost to me for replcement and or repairs.
Front air bags light come on a fron impact sensor fsil
Passenger airbag sensor light remains lit at all times. Light is supposed to go off after system check. Manual says sensors needs to be serviced or injury may occur during accident due to airbag failure. According to internet cadillac forums, many drivers are experiencing this same problem and dealers are telling them "it is normal" or charging over $600 to replace sensor that may or may not fix problem.this is very similar to the recall for 2003-2008 cts's for the same problem.even older cts's are experiencing a return of the problem and dealers won't fix them saying the problem was already fixed in the recall.how can gm say a recall was successful when it didn't fix the problem in the cars identified and newer cars are having the same problems.?

On 6 june, 2013 while driving on m59 in michigan and applying the brakes, my knee made contact with the remote fob, causing the ignition key to move from the "on" position to "accessory" mode. The engine stopped running and i had to steer and brake the vehicle without power assist to the shoulder of the road. I put the vehicle in park and restarted without incident.the same situation occurred in january 2014 while driving on i-75 to florida. In both cases i informed my dealer (lafontaine cadillac in highland, michigan). The response was that they had not received any similar complaints and they could do nothing about it. I informed gm of the issue and they arranged to have the vehicle examined today, 1 april, 2014.i just received a call from the dealership informing me that the ignition switch met specifications. Whether or not it did (and to which specification) is academic.this is a safety issue!while i was able to manhandle the steering and braking, i doubt that my wife would be able to.

I was traveling approximately 65 mph at around 7pm when a dump truck suddenly moved into my lane.i had to immediately slam on the brakes.simultaneously, i sounded my horn and flicked my high beams multiple times at which point all of my outside lights went off.i was completely in the dark, traveling in excess of 55 mph, with no street lights and no car lights.i slowed as quickly as i could and pulled over to the side of the road.i turned the car off and then restarted.once the car restarted, the lights came back on and functioned normally.i experienced this a second time on the night of november 18, 2014 once more around 7pm.i was attempting to pass a slower vehicle.i shifted my cts into sport transmission mode in order to downshift to pass.at the same time, i put my signal on to indicate i was moving my car to the left to pass.i passed the vehicle, put my signal on to indicate i was moving to the right, and all of my exterior lights went out.unlike the first time this occurred, i was not engaging any controls for my lights or horn.i was simply passing and using my turn signal.once more, i was moving in excess of 55 mph with no lights on a rural road.fortunately, i was familiar with this road, so i was able to find a safe place to pull over, shut the vehicle off, and restart.just like the october 2014 occurrence, when the vehicle restarted, the lights returned to normal functioning.
2010 cadillac cts recall 14171 with the key and ignition switch.*mwthe consumer received a recall letter, stating the parts were available. However, when he contacted the dealer, he was informed the parts were not available.
In january chevrolet burien did servicing on my vehicle. When i picked up my vehicle after 3 weeks of them having it; they gave it to me with a flat tire with several studs in my right front tire and there was an inch of water on the inside of the vehicle. I requested management and they denied me and forced me to move my vehicle off the property in fear of my life. The electrical components on the inside are no longer usable. There was mold all over the inside that seriously effected my asthma. Their management still has not contacted me about remedying this issue. They also damaged my glove box so that the water that they let leak into my vehicle wouldn't 'build up' and cause more damage so they were completely aware that they were letting my car flood while storing it.
2010 cadillac cts.consumer writes in regards to ignition switch recall notice.the consumer stated the current fix, is nothing but a band-aid. She would like a new updated ignition switch.

The car shut off while driving down a hill this is the second time it has happened i checked with gm to see if there was a recall for this car and at this time there is not. We were lucky both times that there were no other vehicles around and that the car was kept under control while bringing it to a stop. Although gm has no recalls for this car i am filling this complaint because of the many recalls that are out there for this same problem. Will the third time be a charm when it happens and someone gets killed or seriously injured for gm to include this car? it will be to late!!!!!!!

This problem has been going on for several months i have been in and out of the dealership. And they still to this day can't tell me what is the problem . But i have doneresearch and there a lot of these incidents going on with gmc vehicles idk why they say they can't find problem or fix it . They just want me driving on the highway with my familywhen the car stalls out . This problem isn't everyday it seems to happen 3-5 times a month.

Cadillac sent me a letter dated june 2014 with my vehicle's vin on it indicating that "the supercharger may develop a noticeable rattle noise at idle.the noise will typically go away when the engine rpm is raised slightly above idle.however, if left uncorrected, the problem, over time, may lead to contamination of the lubricating grease and cause the bearing to squeal.if left unaddressed, the bearing may overheat and can cause the engine seizure or no-start condition."cadillac then goes on to say that they will extend the warranty for this issue for 10 years from the service date.i brought my car in to ed morse cadillac in sunrise fl in jan 2015 with this letter because the car had the noise as described in the cadillac letter.the service adviser advised that this car was not one of the vins covered.???i just brought my car in for an oil change and the three mechanics all heard the noise and indicated it sounded like something was wrong.i called up the cadillac number 1-800-204-0261 and basically "min" told me that this isn't a recall but an extension of the warranty, so despite cadillac sending me a letter indicating my car may have this specific problem that they will fix and that my car has the indicated symptoms in their letter, min at cadillac says that i would have to pay for the diagnostic costs for cadillac to determine if the problem as indicated in their letter is indeed what they sent me the letter for.i find this unbelievable that cadillac is putting the onus on the customers to risk the cost of teardown or a major engine malfunction and accident, instead of recalling these cars and taking care of the problem that they notified me of.why should i be fronting money to diagnose the problem cadillac says i have???clearly cadillac would prefer the warranty to run out and not have to pay for $3k repairs on all of these cars.
My rear tail lights for my wagon have separated from the top of the car due to poor design.spoke with cadillac & gm, both refuse to believe it's a design flaw on the wagon models.both stated car out of warranty due to mileage/year.asked if they could tell me what was used to attach lamps to vehicle, neither has a clue. Dealer wants $2100 to replace, but no guarantee that it won't happen again.since january 2019, car has been to dealer 3 times for car not starting on 1st try.first time, negative battery cable tightened, 2nd time replaced positive battery cable, 3rd time dealer has no idea as to what is causing the issue.all lights on dash come on, engine does not turn over while parked. It will start on the 2nd try, sometimes it hesitates.dealer told me to continue to monitor until vehicle breaks down.

Since purchasing this certified pre-owned vehicle, i have noticed that the car's engine has an intermittenttendency to suddenly rev or idle very high while my foot is on the brake and i am in the process of slowing down, stopping, or pulling into a parking apace. The car lurches forward and is only controlled during those times by applying a great deal of pressure on the brake until the idle returns to normal and the car stops trying to lurch forward.i have taken the car back to the service dept. Of the dealership each time (at least five times or more), but the problem had not been duplicated until the shop foreman drove it one day and was able to experience the problem. He replaced the throttle body, but the problem continues. I complained to gm and to the virginia better business bureau because i didn't feel enough was being done to resolve the problem. Initially, gm ignored me and offered no response. When the bbb became involved, i did get a gm response. The bbb suggested the installation of a vehicle data recorder ("black box") to help in the detection of the problem. I recorded three separate incidents on the recorder. Still, the dealership attempted to point the finger of fault at me, stating that i must be driving with my feet on both pedals at the same time! i do not practice such driving habits and told the bbb so. Since the vehicle showed no further problems for a couple of days, the bbb suggested i close the file and maybe reopen later -- if my mileage qualifies to have the case reopened. I sense the bbb's resignation to support gm and the dealer, despite the fact that i have all of the necessary documentation to support my claims.i have become extremely frustrated and very nervous about this potentially dangerous defect, and nothing is being done about it. I am hoping that you can help resolve this.
My engine light came oncode p0008 timing chain issue.cadillac has a recall on the 3.6 timing chains but my vin for some reason isn't included.

The tail light lens do not fit properly.they warp out at the top ends, causing very sharp protrusions that can catch your hand when washing or wiping the vehicle.these were replaced with new ones at the dealership.however, after a few months the same condition has re-occurred.this in my opinion is a safety issue that should be addressed by manufacture.i have managed to cut my hand on more than one occasion because of this condition.

2010 cadillac cts4 premium 3.6 wagoni replaced the rear prop shaft of the awd system in january 2018.i now am having issues with the rear prop shaft yet again, not 2 years later.i believe the driveshaft carrier bearing is failing again (same as before)!with approximately 49k miles on it. I cannot believe that i have to replace this same item again.after having to replace the rear differential twice on this vehicle, i now believe gm has no clue to make a reliable awd vehicle.worst car ever.

There needs to be a better system on alerting used car buyers. When i purchased my car from carvana used in 2017 at 83k-ish miles, i had no idea that there was an extended 10 yr/120k warranty on some models of gm vehicles. I have been experiencing issues with my car and just learning 1 yr and 30k miles too late that there were known issues, and that my issues most likely were related to the timing chain. Timing chains aren't generally something that wear out by 100k - had i been made aware of that when i purchased the car, then that would have been the first course of action. I checked the vin, no recalls, but no extended warranty alerts either. Anyone else having issues would not have known other year models were experiencing problems that could have affected different year models as well. I have researched my cars issues and i have taken it to mechanics- even to a chevrolet dealer when i first bought it. Absolutely no mention of this, until i just happened to stumble on a cadillac forum post from 2019at 1 am 6/2/2021. Now i am the almost owner of a car that books out at maybe $5k with over $2k worth of work that is needed. It sits while i make payments. With all the technology, there should be some way for car dealerships to have to give a new owner any updated information regarding any vehicle related to the one they are purchasing.

My car alarm keeps beeping for no reason when parked. As soon as i start the car, the airbag light goes on. The dashboard warning light says that my tire is flat; so, i changed all four tires, and it's still giving drastically inaccurate readings often. Sometimes it says that my tire is flat-- 0 pressure, and sometimes, it says that it has low pressure. My programmed radio stations keep deleting from memory. I took my car to a repair shop to find out what's going on, and they can't figure it out.

The car lurches forward and is only controlled during those times by applying a great deal of pressure on the brake until the idle returns to normal and the car stops trying to lurch forward.i have taken the car back to the service dept. Of the dealership each time (at least five times or more), but the problem had not been duplicated until the shop foreman drove it one day and was able to experience the problem. He replaced the throttle body, but the problem continues. I complained to gm and to the virginia better business bureau because i didn't feel enough was being done to resolve the problem. Initially, gm ignored me and offered no response. When the bbb became involved, i did get a gm response. The bbb suggested the installation of a vehicle data recorder ("black box") to help in the detection of the problem. I recorded three separate incidents on the recorder. Still, the dealership attempted to point the finger of fault at me, stating that i must be driving with my feet on both pedals at the same time! i do not practice such driving habits and told the bbb so. Since the vehicle showed no further problems for a couple of days, the bbb suggested i close the file and maybe reopen later -- if my mileage qualifies to have the case reopened. I sense the bbb's resignation to support gm and the dealer, despite the fact that i have all of the necessary documentation to support my claims.i have become extremely frustrated and very nervous about this potentially dangerous defect, and nothing is being done about it. I am hoping that you can help resolve this.

When driving in my normal seated position i find that transitioning from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal can be uncomfortable at the least to almost dangerous.the leftedge of the right foot almost always gets caught behind the right edge of the brake pedal.it would appear to me that the brake pedal istoo close to the throttle pedal. Has this issue ever come up before? i've talked to others who have driven these models and the problem has been noticed.if the right foot is placed more to the right (more in line with the accelerator pedal|) it is not a problem.but isn't anormal position for me as i would assume for other drivers.i'm sure that shoe size or style would make a difference. But in a confined are like these cars have (the console seems wider to allow for the transmission position) that an allowancefor more room between pedals should have been made. Dave
On 6 june, 2013 while driving on m59 in michigan and applying the brakes, my knee made contact with the remote fob, causing the ignition key to move from the "on" position to "accessory" mode. The engine stopped running and i had to steer and brake the vehicle without power assist to the shoulder of the road. I put the vehicle in park and restarted without incident.the same situation occurred in january 2014 while driving on i-75 to florida. In both cases i informed my dealer (lafontaine cadillac in highland, michigan). The response was that they had not received any similar complaints and they could do nothing about it. I informed gm of the issue and they arranged to have the vehicle examined today, 1 april, 2014.i just received a call from the dealership informing me that the ignition switch met specifications. Whether or not it did (and to which specification) is academic.this is a safety issue!while i was able to manhandle the steering and braking, i doubt that my wife would be able to.

My rear tail lights for my wagon have separated from the top of the car due to poor design.spoke with cadillac & gm, both refuse to believe it's a design flaw on the wagon models.both stated car out of warranty due to mileage/year.asked if they could tell me what was used to attach lamps to vehicle, neither has a clue. Dealer wants $2100 to replace, but no guarantee that it won't happen again.since january 2019, car has been to dealer 3 times for car not starting on 1st try.first time, negative battery cable tightened, 2nd time replaced positive battery cable, 3rd time dealer has no idea as to what is causing the issue.all lights on dash come on, engine does not turn over while parked. It will start on the 2nd try, sometimes it hesitates.dealer told me to continue to monitor until vehicle breaks down.
Door locks freeze up. The drivers door froze up when i stopped to get gas (while i was on vacation in tn) could not open door from inside or out. That was in 9/2015 i was told it was a fluke! paid over $600 for repair. Yesterday i went to get in my vehicle on the passenger side door would not open! same sceniro cannot open from inside or out!
I used the remote to open the power liftgate. I leaned into the back of the wagon to retrieve something, and the liftgate crashed down onto my back. It lifted back up, and then crashed down again. I was able to get out of the way, and the process was repeated until i manually slammed the liftgate closed. I opened it again with the remote, and the same process occurred. I changed the setting of the liftgate to manual and lifted it myself, and again it crashed down. It bruised my back and shoulder, but could have done grievous harm to someone else. I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow.

In january chevrolet burien did servicing on my vehicle. When i picked up my vehicle after 3 weeks of them having it; they gave it to me with a flat tire with several studs in my right front tire and there was an inch of water on the inside of the vehicle. I requested management and they denied me and forced me to move my vehicle off the property in fear of my life. The electrical components on the inside are no longer usable. There was mold all over the inside that seriously effected my asthma. Their management still has not contacted me about remedying this issue. They also damaged my glove box so that the water that they let leak into my vehicle wouldn't 'build up' and cause more damage so they were completely aware that they were letting my car flood while storing it.

The rear hatchback lifts failed and the hatch spontaneously closes.the part that is unreasonable is it closes under power and slams on my head injuring my head and neck with power assist!this happens when the car is parked and i access the rear hatch.it has happened many times. Now i have to remember to hold it up forcefully while a motor pushes to close it.
