| 2006 | AIR BAGS | "SERVICE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG" WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYED. A WARNING LIGHT WILL DISPLAY SAYING THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG IS OFF. PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ERROR THAT CAUSED THE CADILLAC CTS RECALL. WHY HAS THIS NOT INCLUDED THE STS? TYPE THIS PROBLEM INTO GOOGLE AND THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS INCLUDING THE DTS. THERE IS A TSB: "NHTSA NUMBER: 10036512. CADILLAC: FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS INDICATOR DISPLAYS OFF OR SWITCHES FROM ON TO OFF WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT (REPLACE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) MODULE). CONDITION MAY BE CAUSED BY PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) IN RIGHT FRONT." WILL THERE HAVE TO BE AN ACCIDENT FOR THE RECALL TO BE EXPANDED? *TR |
| 2009 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | 2009 CADILLAC STS LOST ALL OR MOST BRAKE FLUID. THIS CAR HAS SLIGHTLY OVER 22000 MILES. MULTIPLE WARNINGS ON PANEL. DEALER FOUND THAT THE LEFT REARF BRAKE CALIPER WAS LEAKING FLUID UNDER PRESSURE AT THE POINT WHERE THE BRAKE HOSE CONNECTS. CALIPER AND HOSE WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN NOW IS THAT IF THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IT MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS WHEN ALL BRAKES FAIL WITH NO FLUID LEFT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. THAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND, HOPEFULLY, IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT WIDESPREAD. *TR |
