I HAVE A CADILLAC CTS 2006 AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CADILLAC DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY FOUND THAT THE FRONT SENSOR CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POLICY. I PAID A $100.00 DIAGNOSIS FEE BUT DID NOT GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS OVER $500.00. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTANENCE AND AGAIN HAD THE LOOK AT THE AIRBAG LIGHT, AGAIN NOT REPAIRED. I THEM READ ON THIS SITE THE GM HAD RECALLED THIS MODEL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I CALLED GM MOTORS BECAUSE THE SAME SENSOR IS RECALLED FOR CADILLAC CTS MODELS 2005-2006 AND THE CAMPAIGN ID # IS 10V644000, HOWEVER GM TOLD ME THAT MY LAST DIAGNOSIS WAS TOO OLD SO I HAD TO PAY AGAIN $100.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO SEND TO GM ALTHOUGH I AND THE DEALER KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG. GM THE REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL. THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLED VEHICLES. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER :10V644000 THAT STATS: "NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING THAT AIR BAGS DEPLOYMENT MAY REDUCE PROTECTION OF THE PASSENGER AND INCREASE THE RISK OR SEVERITY OF INJURY TO THEM... DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE..GM SAFETY RECALL NO. 100355" I WENT FORWARD AND REPAIRED IT THIS TIME AS I HAVE PAID 3 $100.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THIS IS A WAY THAT GM IS ATTEMPTING TO RIP CUSTOMERS OFF. ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
