2007 Cadillac STS Complaints

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.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE A MAJOR FOGGING ISSUE WHICH LEADS TO IMPAIRED VISIBILITY BOTH FOR THE DRIVER OF THE CAR AND FOR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE IS BEING REPORTED IN STS AND CTS CADILLAC FORUMS AT LEAST AS FAR BACK AS 2008. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN EITHER THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING OF THESE COMPONENTS. *TR
