| 2008 | AIR BAGS | 2008 CADILLAC STS AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT HAS A MALFUNCTION. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HIS 100LB WIFE SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT SOMETIMES STAYED ON, BUT MOST TIMES IT WAS OFF. THE DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM 3 TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT WHICH STILL DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. FINALLY, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE DEALER SENT THE CONSUMER A GM FLYER THAT EXPLAINED THE COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE MADE THE DECISION AS TO WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT SHOULD BE ON. *JB |
| 2006 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | KEYLESS DOOR ENTRY UNLOCK FAILS. THE OUTER HANDLE HAS FAULTY WIRING WITH MANY CARS SENT IN FOR REPLACEMENT AND NO RECALL PERFORMED YET. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE DOOR LOCK FAILING CAN LOCK THE DRIVER IN THE CAR DURING AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE AND, IF THE PERSON IS UNRESPONSIVE DUE TO THE ACCIDENT, SOMEONE ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR CANNOT ENTER THROUGH THE DRIVERS DOOR. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK THAT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED. THROUGH MY RESEARCH, IT COMMONLY AFFECTS 2005 & 2006 CADILLAC STS MODEL CARS WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY & KEYLESS IGNITION. *TR |
