12.5% of complaints about the 2007 Cadillac STS came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2007 vehicle — around the middle of the 268 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 7.6 yr in service. The most-reported system is air bags (18 complaints), typically at 9.9 yr or about 65,000 miles.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V vehicles manufactured October 6, 2003, to March 15, 2007, and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V vehicles manufactured June 23, 2005, to March 15, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the electrical terminals of the fuel pump module may overheat resulting in the melting of the flange material.
If the flange melts, a hole may be created allowing the fuel pump to leak fuel, causing the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE REAR AXLE PINION SEAL DOES NOT MEET ALL OF THE SPECIFICATIONS AND MAY EXPERIENCE A FLUID LEAK.
A REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE MAY CAUSE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER AND POSSIBLY LOSS OF CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

I REPLACE MY AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THIS IS A $600 PART. ON YEAR LATER THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. WHEN READING THE GM CADILLAC FORUM THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR CADILLAC FOR SOMETIME. FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN RESULT IN THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT. *TT
