NHTSA Complaint #10447224 — 2006 CADILLAC STS

AT APPROXIMATELY 72,000 MILES MY CADILLAC'S PASSENGER SEAT LIGHT BEGAN TO ACT UP AND WOULD GO ON AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE WOULD SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I AM SINGLE AND RARELY EVER HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. APPROXIMATELY TWO TIMES PER MONTH SOMEONE RIDES IN THIS SEAT. THE LAST TIME SOMEONE SAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, I TRAVELED 10 MILES ROUND TRIP ON 1/19/2012, THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND AIR BAG RED LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON THE DASH AND SINCE THEN WILL NOT GO OFF. I TAKE EXTRAORDINARY CARE OF MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $629.00. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED IN THE CADILLAC CTS MODEL OF THE SAME YEAR. MY QUESTION AND COMPLAINT ARE: DID THE MODULES COME FROM THE SAME PLACE AND/OR ARE THEY THE SAME MODULE AND PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM. WHY WOULDN'T MY CADILLAC STS BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL WHEN I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY OTHER CADILLAC STS MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR. *TR
