FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NHTSA CAMPAIGN #14V542000, RECALL ID #226957 - FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES, EFFECTIVE 03/12/2015. NOTIFIED BY CREDIT KARMA ON SUNDAY, 11/04/2018. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2011. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE NIGHT BEFORE. INITIALLY I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS A BAD BATCH OF GASOLINE. I FILED A CLAIM AGAIN MY WARRANTY, REQUESTED INFORMATION FROM THOMAS PETROLEUM WHO CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH GASOLINE, WARRANTY COVERED REPAIR. THEN AGAIN IN 2016, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WITH FUELING SYSTEM. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DIAGNOSTICS FROM AUTOZONE. I HAVE SINCE THEN PURCHASED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND 2007 CADILLAC STS PRESENTLY INOPERABLE. I WAS ADVISED OF RECALL FROM CREDITKARMA

AIR BAGS, SEATS
WHEN I MOVE THE DRIVER'S SEAT THE "AIRBAG" SYMBOL APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD. IF I MOVE THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH , AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE "AIRBAG" SYMBOL DISAPPEARS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOOK UNDER THE SEAT, BUT I HAVE SEEN A VIDEO WHERE SOMEBODY HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT FOUND BURNT WIRES UNDER THE SEAT. I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS A FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY CAR IS EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 08V108000, RECALL DATE: 2008-03-11. HOWEVER, MY VIN: [XXX], IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SUMMARY GM IS RECALLING 4,586 MY 2008 CADILLAC STS AND STS-V PASSENGER VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 138, 'TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS' (TPMS). THE STANDARD REQUIRES AN INDICATION TO THE DRIVER FOR CERTAIN TPMS MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN THE SYSTEM DETECTS A MALFUNCTION, THE LOW TIRE WARNING LIGHT SHOULD FLASH FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE AND THEN STAY ON THE REMAINDER OF THE IGNITION CYCLE. A DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER MESSAGE WILL ALSO BE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. INTERMITTENTLY, MY CAR WILL DISPLAY A WARNING WHILE DRIVING, INDICATING THAT ONE OR MORE OF THE TPMS SENSORS HAVE FAILED. THE WARNING PERSISTS UNTIL THE END OF THE DRIVE CYCLE. RESTARTING THE CAR CLEARS THE WARNING. THE CAR IS ALWAYS MOVING WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH TPMS SENSORS THAT HAD WARNINGS. THE REPAIR FACILITY ALSO RESET THE TMPS SYSTEM FOR THE NEW SENSORS TO BE RECOGNIZED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, EVEN ON THE REPLACED SENSORS. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF AN INVOICE FOR ONE OF THE TPMS SENSORS IN QUESTION. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THE DEALER SHOULD REPROGRAM THE SYSTEM TO CORRECT THE ISSUE (AS WITH THE OTHER CARS LISTED IN THE RECALL). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2005 CADILLAS STS - FRAME ROTTING OUT - CAR IS GARAGE KEPT. UPON INSPECTION ON MY LIFT THIS WEEKEND, I FOUND SUBSTANTIAL RUST TO BOTH LOWER FRAME RAILS JUST BEHIND THE MOUNTS FOR ENGINE CRADLE. MANUFACTURER FILLS THE FRAME RAILS OF THIS AREA WITH FOAM WHICH ABSORBS AND HOLDS WATER AND ROTS THE FRAME RAIL FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. NOW LOOKING AT THOUSANDS TO REPAIR A VEHICLE IN OTHERWISE VERY GOOD CONDITION.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON TELLING YOU TO SERVICE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THEY FIXED IT, 1 WEEK LATER CAME BACK ON. THEY SAID IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THEY SAID THE PART THET YOU CONNECT TO SECURE YOU IN THE SEAT BELT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. UNTIL THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON SAYING SERVICE AIRBAG BUT IT'S REALLY NOT THE AIRBAG IT'S THE SEAT BUCKLE. I WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET.

STARTED RECEIVING A CONSTANT, "SERVICE AIR BAG" WARNING MESSAGE AFTER 125,000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE NEEDED REPLACED. IT WILL COST $1,000 FOR THE PART, LABOR, AND PROGRAMMING. NOW I READ ON THIS FORUM THAT THE SAME ISSUE WAS FOUND ON THE CTS MODEL AND IT WAS RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NOT THE STS. IT'S DIFFICULT TO JUSTIFY PUTTING THAT MUCH MONEY IN AN OLDER VEHICLE.
