HELLO, I PURCHASED A 2006 STS V8 LAST JANUARY. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES IMMEDIATELY, A STARTER, AND THE BRAKES AND THEN REPLACE FRONT BRAKE PADS AGAIN. I RECENTLY WENT TO AUTO SHOP AND WAS TOLD CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND SUSPENSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THERE WAS RECALLS ON THE 2005 STS V8 MODEL FOR THE BRAKES, SUSPENSION AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 12 YEARS AND 200000 MILES. THE FACT IS THAT FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED MY CAR WAS BUILT IN 2005 AND THE ACTUAL MANUFACTURE DATE ON VEHICAL WAS 6/20/2005 WHICH WAS LAST DATE OF PRODUCTION FOR THE 05 MODEL. THE 2006 MANUFACTURE OR BUILD DATE BEGAN ON 6/23/05. IT SEEMS ODD ALL THE RECALLS FOR THE 05 MODEL ARE ALL THE YEAR OLD VEHICLE ARE FACED WITH. I CALLED CADILLAC AND THEY SAID ALTHOUGH THE BUILD DATE OF VEHICLE IS VALID THE VIN NUMBER IS WHAT IS FOLLOWED. HOWEVER, FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THEY ACTUALLY FOUND THE SAME RECALL ON THE 05 CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON A 2007 CADILLAC. EVERYTHING POINTS TO THE FACT THAT THE MY 2006 MODEL WAS ACTUALLY EITHER A LATE MODEL OF A 2005 BY THE BUILD DATE OF 6/20/05 AND OR THE SAME PARTS HAVE BEEN USED AS THE 2005 RECALL. LASTLY THE VIN NUMBER WHEN I PULLED UP ON A SITE SHOWED IT WAS ACTUALLY A CTS MODEL. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF DATA I COULD SHARE THAT WOULD BACK THAT MY 2006 STS V8 ACTUALLY IS PART OF THE RECALL CARS. I UNDERSTAND THE VIN NUMBER IS WHAT IS LOOKED AT BUT WHEN MODEL YEAR CARS ARE BEING MADE AND SOLD AS DIFFERENT YEARS THAN WHEN THEY ARE PRODUCED AND RECALLS EFFECT THE YEAR OF ACTUAL BUILD THIS BECOMES VERY CONCERNING. AS IN THE PAST YEAR I WILL BE SPENDING OVER 3000$ PLUS DOLLARS TO FIX THIS CAR. I.HOPE YOU CAN LOOK INTO. AS THEY WONT EVEN INVESTIGATE OR GIVE ME THE SERIAL NUMBERS FOR THE PARTS BEING RECALLED

WHILE STARTING MY CAR, A LIGHT CAME ON MY CAR INDICATING "SERVICE AIR BAG". I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE FOR THE AIR BAG NEEDED REPLACEMENT IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE SERVICE AIR BAG ISSUE. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIR INCLUDING PARTS, LABOR AND REPROGRAMMING WAS $1,000 TO $1,200. I DO NOT HAVE $1,000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS. THE 2005 - 2007 CTS HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND GM ISSUED A RECALL. WHY NOT THE STS???
