Fuel Pump problems of the 2002 Cadillac Deville

The contact owns a 2002 Cadillac Deville. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to show the correct fuel level reading. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed the fuel pump and sensor needed to be replaced. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 90,000.

Car stalled out while driving at 45 miles per hour. Difficult to control with no power steering and power brakes. Had I been driving around a corner, on the highway or going down a hill, this would have resulted in an accident. Auto had to be towed, would not start again. Dealer said problem was the fuel pump failure. Fuel pump also failed on 08/04/2003. In that instance, the auto was stopped and would not start. Appears fuel pump design is defective and very unsafe. I did notice other complaints on your web site for this model/year car that show the auto stalling out while being driven. These might also be related to the same problem.
