| Seat Belt problems |
My 2009 has 112,000 miles on it. Over a period of time we started to smell gasoline . Thought it may be simply from putting gas in the car. The smell got stronger. Fortunately we had to have a tire replaced. The tire service owner advised we had a major gas leak and advised us not to drive it far. End result was we had a fuel feed pipe that was leaking. Please know we had been driving our 4 year old nephew and 1 year old niece in the car. Final bill was over $2300. Leaking gas !! how can that not warrant a safety recall? searching the web for information about others having the same problem I discovered others did. Please go to Cadillac forums for starters. Please review and advise. More safety issues for the Cts involved a seat belt that was worn down and a passenger front door that would not open from either the inside or outside.

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the passengers side air bag warning indicator was consistently illuminated. The failure recurred each time the vehicle was started. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed that the front passenger seat belt pre-tensioner was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000. Sw.
I was trying to adjust the seat belt clip (male part) on the drivers side rear seat belt. The clip was turned the wrong way on the seat belt. While trying to adjust the clip the lower part of the seat belt came apart from its anchor. I was stunned at how easily the seat belt detached. I came to the conclusion after inspecting the belt that there was no stitching in the belt where it should have been sewn together. It looks like the machine that attempted to sew the seat belt had no thread in it. The hole marks and sewing pattern are there but with no thread. Note: I am the second owner of the car. I purchased the car from a family friend who is a middle aged single person. I doubt the seat belt had ever been used by a rear-seat passenger.
The driver's seat belt is very difficult to disengage. Takes several tries and pushing front and back of the release lever.
