2007 Cadillac Sts

PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT - DEALER WILL NOT FIX FOR LESS THAN $800.00. SAME ISSUE AS 2007 CADILLAC CTS. SEE BELOW. THIS WAS A COMPANY CAR BUILT EARLY FOR EMPLOYEE EVALUATION. I AM SURE IT WAS THE SAME SEAT SYSTEM 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC STS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V542000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE DEALER WAS UNCERTAIN WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNCERTAIN WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

ENGINE RANDOMLY STOPS RUNNING WHILE CAR IS GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS OR LOW SPEEDS. ENGINE WILL RESTART AND TRAVEL FOR VARIOUS DISTANCES BEFORE OCCURRING AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON MANY 2007 CADILLAC AND GM HAS MADE A RECALL ON ALL 2007 CADILLAC EXCEPT THE STS MODEL ! IT USES THE SAME IGNITION SWITCH AS THE OTHER MODELS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ANOTHER CAR IS BEHIND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC STS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND VARIOUS WIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

ON MANY OCCASIONS, MY 2007 CADILLAC STS EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME IGNITION PROBLEM AS OTHER MORE POPULAR MODELS OF THE 2007 CADILLAC. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SUDDENLY QUIT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING SERIOUS DANGER TO BEING HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER YOU ARE DRIVING AT 20 MPH OR 65 MPH. IT RANDOMLY CAUSES THE ENGINE TO DIE. AN IGNITION RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON MANY (OR ALL) MODELS OF THE 2007 CADILLAC EXCEPT THIS STS MODEL. THE DEALER, THOMPSON CADILLAC, CONFIRMED THAT IT IS THE IGNITION PROBLEM. HOWEVER, GM REFUSES TO PAY FOR REPAIR. CAN YOU ASSIST ME? *TR

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. I STARTED GOING UP THE DRIVEWAY, I FELT THE CAR LURCH FOREWARD. I THOUGHT I WAS SLAMMING ON THE BRAKE, BUT HIT THE GAS INSTEAD. THE CAR CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE MOVING THE CONCRETE BLOCK. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I BROKE MY NECK AT C4 AND C5. I HAVE SEEN 3 REPORTS ON THIS SITE DETAILING THE SAME. ALL THESE CARS WERE 2007 CADILLAC STS. WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH GM AND AIRBAGS, COULD THIS BE RELATED? *TR
