Tl the contact owns a 2008 Cadillac Cts. The contact smelled fuel in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that fuel was leaking from the fuel pump on top of the fuel tank. The dealer (Cadillac of arlington, 2001 n collins st, arlington, TX 76011) was made aware of the failure, but could not assist. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 115,000.

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.

Car was towed to dealer. Repairs findings included a melted fuel pump harness and fuel pump inoperative as a result. I feel under certain circumstances the results could have been catastrophic resulting in damage, injury, or possible death.

Strong smell of gasoline was coming from rear of vehicle. Upon inspection, a crack and leak in the plastic supply line of the fuel pump module was found. This caused fuel to spill and settle on top of the fuel tank which results in a dangerous condition and possible fire hazard. This is similar to a previous recall (12v459000) on 2007, 2008, 2009 gm vehicles that did not include Cadillac.

First incident: when driving, engine would loose power, engine light on, fuel pump replaced second incident: two weeks later, driving car and engine shuts down, no power, no brakes, no power steering, gas milage to empty was at 68 miles. Replaced fuel gauges third incident: one week after replaced fuel gauge, engine shut down while driving, no brakes, no power steering, and gas mileage read out was 69 miles. Fortunately, we were at a standstill in the middle of the road and the car restarted, went to gas station, filled the car with gas, it took 14. 7 gallons, the Cts gas capacity is 18 gallons. Dealer doesn't know what the problem is. Just waiting for a solution. This is a major safety concern that needs immediate attention.
