AFTER RESEARCHING MY HEATER/COOLER PROBLEM IN MY SEATS I FIND THE CADILLAC NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM THAT HAS EXISTS FOR A LONG TIME AND EVEN AFTER CONSULTING AUTHORIZED CADILLAC DEALESHIPS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM! I JUST WANT CADILLAC TO FIX MY CURRENT HEAT/COOLER PROBLEM IN MY SEATS!

THE FUEL PUMP FUEL FEED LINE HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK AND IS SPRAYING FUEL CREATING A FIRE HAZZARD. ON TOP OF THE TANK SITS THE FUEL PUMP. ON THE FUEL PUMP THE FEED TUBE CONNECTS TO THE FUEL LINE WHICH THEN GOES TO THE ENGINE. THIS LEAK CREATED A FUEL ODOR AND GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I FOUND DAMPNESS ON TOP OF THE TANK, WHICH WAS GASOLINE. UPON MY FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED THE FUEL SPRAYING OUT OF A PIN HOLE SIZED CRACK. THIS IS SIMILAR TO A RECALL ISSUED ON OTHER GM VEHICLES IN THE PAST AND I FEEL THE CADILLAC CTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED. I'VE NOTICE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES VIA AN ONLINE SEARCH AT CADILLAC WEB FORUMS. I PERFORMED THE REPAIR MYSELF BUT IT IS A VERY LABOR INTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A NON CAPABLE PERSON IF DONE BY A DEALER OR REPAIR SHOP. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A 6 HOUR JOB BECAUSE THE REAR FRAME, DIFFERENTIAL, EXHAUST ETC MUST BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE GAS TANK. A MAJOR ISSUE AND SAFETY RISK IN MY VIEW. THE LEAK WILL OCCUR WHENEVER THE CAR IS ON AS WELL AS OFF SINCE THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER PRESSURE. WHEN CAR WAS PARKED - MY GARAGE SMELLED LIKE GAS THE LEAK WAS SO BAD. ** I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEO AND WILL UPLOAD AT A LATER TIME. ** THIS CAR IS A PERFECTLY MAINTAINED VEHICLE AND STILL APPEARS BRAND NEW - NO ABUSE OR OTHER ISSUES CAUSED THIS DEFECT IN THE FUEL PUMP MODULE.

A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, NECK, AND KNEES, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.
