Passenger air bag sensor in seat, occupant sensor or pps, is faulty. Check air bag warning alert remains on or is intermittent, even if no contents or person on passenger seat. Very similar to GM recall 08373 for first generation Cadillac Cts occupant sensor for passenger airbag. If using the same design, and not corrected, the recall should be extended to the second generation Cts vehicles.

CTS 8-cyl

  • 14 miles
Recaro seats squeak and rock in their mounts. Not secured properly. Annoying and if the mounts fail, the driver would be out of position and car could crash. Have been doing this since the car was new, and I'm not the only one having this problem.
