"SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON IN 2021 AFTER PSS MAT BEING REPLACED IN 2011 RECALL #10355 RENDERING THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM ( BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER) INACTIVE. VEHICLE CURRENTLY IN DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP REPORTED BOTH AIRBAGS INOPERABLE WHILE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT IS ON CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE IF VEHICLE IS DRIVEN UNTIL REPAIRED.

WHEN GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SOMEONE WEIGHED ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG TO BE ON THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD FLICKER. THEN AFTER A WHILE THE AIR BAG LIGHT JUST STAYED ON AND HASN'T TURNED OFF EVEN WHEN KNOWONES SITTING THEIR. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ONLY WHEN SOMEONE WOULD ENTER THE CAR WHILE STATIONARY WITH THE VEHICLE ON. IT'S BEEN ABOUT 2 MONTHS SINCE THIS HAS STARTED.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH THAT WHEN HIT THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK. I WAS HIT TWICE ON DRIVER REAR AND PASSENGER REAR, SPUN OUT AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS CROSSING OVER A CITY ROAD FROM A STOP SIGN, WAS HIT AT 60 MPH. I WAS DOING 20 MPH GOING STRAIGHT ACROSS FROM THE STOP SIGN.

The service air bag light has been on for several years. I called a few years ago and was told it was a recall and Cadillac would stand by it. It would not expire I took it to the Cadillac place. They would not honor it

IN AUGUST 2011, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER IN RESPONSE TO RECALL 10355 WITH APPROXIMATELY 31,600 MILES. PART 19124390 PASSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION/AIRBAG MODULE WAS REPLACED. IN FEBRUARY 2019, SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED AND TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION/ AIR BAG MODULE, WHICH IS THE SAME ITEM REPLACED IN AUGUST 2011. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN 7/8 YEARS SINCE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 35,000. OF THOSE 35,0000, A FRONT PASSENGER WAS PROBABLY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR ONLY 15,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS SECOND SENSOR PART IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT CADILLAC'S EXPENSE. DOCUMENTATION INCLUDING INVOICES AND ESTIMATES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE AN AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. TOOK IN TO DEALER. SAYS THE CODE B092 NEEDS PASS. PRESENCE. QUOTED US ALMOST $1000 FOR REPAIR. NOTE THAT THIS RECALL WAS TAKEN IN AND DONE NOV 2013. WHY IS IT MESSING UP AGAIN? HOW LONG IS THE REPAIR SUPPOSED TO LAST? SHOULDN'T IT BE FIXED AT NO COST TO US?

TAKATA RECALL. WE HEARD FROM GM RECALL CENTER THAT OUR LOCAL GM DEALER, RALLY AUTO, DID THIS RECALL NOV 15, 2013. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN NOT EVEN 5 YEARS LATER. WE ARE SENIORS AND DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR THAT FAR. WE TOOK IT IN TO RALLY AND THEY PUT IT ON A MACHINE AND CHARGED US $143 TO TELL US IT WOULD BE ALMOST $1000 TO FIX THE AIRBAG MODULE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IN RESEARCHING, IT SAYS THAT THE RECALLS NEVER EXPIRE IF THE MANUFACTURER AND PARTS AVAILABILITY ARE STILL THERE. WE ARE SENIORS ON LIMITED INCOME AND THIS IS EXHORBITANT FEES. THEY DID NOT CHECK UNDER THE SEAT TO SEE IF IT MIGHT BE A SIMPLE BREAKAGE OR BENDING OF WIRES I DON'T BELIEVE. CAN YOU HELP US GET THIS FIXED? IT SEEMS IT SHOULD NOT BE MESSED UP SO SOON. THANK YOU.
