THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V-542. FOR CTS-V RECENTLY NOT FOR CTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAD NO ALARM INDICATING THAT FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY. AFTER VERIFICATION AT THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL PUMP MODULE MELTED. THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE CAR DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE. THE ONLY INDICATION WE HAD WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE GARAGE REPLACED FUEL PUMP MODULE AND CONNECTION. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN SUBURBAN MINNEAPOLIS. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE, THERE WAS LITTLE CHANGE IN SPEED AND THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED BRAKING AND STABILITY SYSTEM ERRORS. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BRAKE HOSE HAD CORRODED AND RUPTURED, RESULTING IN THE BRAKING FAILURE. I NOTICED THE TRIM LEVEL OF MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A 2010 RECALL, HOWEVER THE SAME CONDITION SEEMS TO EXIST IN THE V-SERIES CTS. ONLY ONE BRAKE LINE WAS REPLACED, LEADING ME TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT STATE. *TR
