“. This is my first time owning a Cadillac and I must say I absolutely love it! It is a 2007 STS so it is older but in excellent condition with only around 65,000 miles on it. However I have been very recently disappointed by the service response from my airbag malfunction. I recently noticed my air bag light sensor was intermittently turning on and off and immediately brought it into earnhardt Cadillac of scottsdale for fear of a safety issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10959605, filed 2017-03, 65,000 miles“The service airbags warning appeared on my car. It was just parked for 2 days and when I got in it turned on. This is a common issue that has occurred with multiple people.”
NHTSA complaint #11257409, filed 2019-09, 130,000 miles“When the car is started the service air bag light stays on. I have to shut the car off and exit the car re-enter re-seat myself and my passenger(wife) several times. Sometimes the error goes away and sometime it does not. This car has the same problems the 2007 Cadillac cts had and there was a recall. These cars may have the same air bags as the afore mentioned cts. The internet forums talk of this same problem for the STS. …”
NHTSA complaint #10515284, filed 2013-06, 56,780 miles“Air bag light came on and the dic indicates the air bag requires service. Upon investigation, the passenger presence sensor in the passenger seat is shot. The air bags are disabled and it's a thousand dollar repair at the dealer. Rarely does anybody sit in the passenger seat. It appears that this passenger side sensor is a common failure in other GM models as well.”
NHTSA complaint #11002079, filed 2017-06, 54,000 miles“Service airbag system light remains on at startup. Periodically the light will not remain on but more often than not it remains on. When light remains on the vehicle may be stationary or in motion.”
