2007 Cadillac STS Problems, complaints & recalls

The vehicle experiences a Shift-to-Park malfunction in which it does not consistently recognize that it is in Park, despite being physically shifted into the Park position. When this occurs, the vehicle may fail to shut down properly or behaves as if it is not securely in Park. The condition is reproducible and occurs during normal use. The issue first appeared in approximately mid-2024 at an estimated mileage of 80,000-85,000 miles and continues to occur. No crash or collision has occurred. However, the defect...

Air bag on the steering wheel has oozing glue that oozed/leaked out of the airbag and has hardened on outer cover! Lights and radio don't disconnect or turn off when car is turned off and drain battery.

The service airbags warning appeared on my car. It was just parked for 2 days and when I got in it turned on. This is a common issue that has occurred with multiple people.

On my way home today the service light airbag come on stating that the airbag needs to be serviced.

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...

2007 Cadillac sts. Consumer writes in regards to defective composite headlamps. *Ld the consumer stated the headlamp assembly would fog up. There was two inches of water built up in the assembly due to condensation. *Js

I went to the gas station to fill a gas. After I filled the car I saw big spot underneath of my car of gasoline. I went under the car I saw some gasoline color on the fuel tank. The dealer refused to fix it under the claimed recall.

Left headlight fills with water during a rainstorm or car wash. Headlamp is foggy with moisture reducing the light output and will cause a premature headlamp failure.

Air bag light came on and the dic indicates the air bag requires service. Upon investigation, the passenger presence sensor in the passenger seat is shot. The air bags are disabled and it's a thousand dollar repair at the dealer. Rarely does anybody sit in the passenger seat. It appears that this passenger side sensor is a common failure in other gm models as well.

. This is my first time owning a cadillac and I must say I absolutely love it! It is a 2007 sts so it is older but in excellent condition with only around 65,000 miles on it. However I have been very recently disappointed by the service response from my airbag malfunction. I recently noticed my air bag light sensor was intermittently turning on and off and immediately brought it into earnhardt cadillac of scottsdale for fear of a safety issue. I received a call from steven from services who explained that the...

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND IT'S COMMENT IN MANY

2007 Cadillac sts. Consumer writes in regards to airbag sensor indicator light repair/cost issues. *Smd the consumer was informed the air bag sensor which was causing the air bag light to illuminate was not covered and it would cost $ 850.00. *Jb

Rear right brake caliper broke in half , while driving out of a parking spot I lost my brakes the pedal went to the floor and blew a whole in my rim and I no longer have brake pads, my brake fluid leaked out ( disaster. Unbelievable and I had new rear brakes.

I noticed the gear shifter locked in placed where one can not move the unit from park to drive; I receive the shift to park message on the vic visual information center. I believed there was a recall on the same car in the 2006 cadillac sts; the shift to park error message also comes on after driving and unable to turn the unit off (red lights of course) until the battery dies. No recall

The airbag light turns on while driving ; I noticed the 2007 cadillac cts has the same issue and was recalled the sts was not. The vehicles are the same.

Service airbag system light remains on at startup. Periodically the light will not remain on but more often than not it remains on. When light remains on the vehicle may be stationary or in motion.

Check engine light continues to illuminate even though I have changed both o2 sensors twice. Dealer keeps telling me I need another o2 sensor. Aldata shows a software upgrade is neede to correct the problem.

My cadillac sts left front light seal leaks water into it and now the headlight won't come on. This was notice upon purchasing the vehicle and was told it was a manufactures problem. Now my head lamp only works on brights.

Passenger air bag warning light - dealer will not fix for less than $800.00. Same issue as 2007 cadillac cts. See below. This was a company car built early for employee evaluation. I am sure it was the same seat system general motors is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 cadillac cts vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which repeated flexing of the passenger sensing system mat in the front passenger seat may cause the mat to kink, bend, or fold. This flexing can break the connections in the mat. If this occurs, the sensor may not detect the presence of a front seat passenger and will disable the air bag.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 cadillac sts. The contact received a notice for nhtsa campaign number: 14v542000 (fuel system, gasoline) and stated that the parts were unavailable. The dealer was uncertain when the parts would become available to service the vehicle under the recall. The manufacturer was uncertain when they would have the parts available. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The headlights have a major fogging issue which leads to impaired visibility both for the driver of the car and for other drivers on the road. This issue is being reported in sts and cts cadillac forums at least as far back as 2008. I believe this is a defect in either the design or manufacturing of these components. *Tr

Engine randomly stops running while car is going at high speeds or low speeds. Engine will restart and travel for various distances before occurring again. This problem has been reported on many 2007 cadillac and gm has made a recall on all 2007 cadillac except the sts model ! It uses the same ignition switch as the other models. Very dangerous situation if another car is behind. *Tr

2007 Cadillac sts. Consumer writes in regards to a thumping and tugging sound from the front tires. *Tgw the dealer stated the belts were starting to separate. Also, the transmission shift control assembly was replaced. *Jb
