What owners say
Strong smell of gasoline leaking from fuel tank when filled over 3/4 tank and sending unit not operating properly with some noticeable hesitation , fuel gauge no longer reports correct amount of fuel in tank same issue as cadillac cts-v the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v542000,with the fuel pump sending unit overheating and burning a hole in the unit.
Went to jiffy lube to get engine oil changed. On the way home my car started to stall, then shut off. Took it to the gmc cadillac dealer and they stated I needed a new fuel pump, and that there is a leak. I searched online and there is numerous recalls for this exact situation, however my vehicle is not under this recall.
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.
Fuel tank showing full tank of gas. Driving normally, car suddenly dies, no power to steering or gas pedal. Pulled over to side of road, called onstar, police and tow truck summoned to scene. Tow truck towed me to nearest cadillac dealership, car left over the weekend. Monday morning dealer calls to say fuel pump is defective, and that tank was bone dry, even though gauge was reporting 100% full...this all a result of the fuel pump problem. Car only has 6,200 kilometers (about 3,500 miles). Fuel pump was replaced, however fuel range still reporting ridiculous values, jumps all over the place, gauge still not accurate, am afraid of losing power and that the gas will run out without my knowing it.

- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V vehicles manufactured October 6, 2003, to March 15, 2007, and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V vehicles manufactured June 23, 2005, to March 15, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the electrical terminals of the fuel pump module may overheat resulting in the melting of the flange material.
- Risk
- If the flange melts, a hole may be created allowing the fuel pump to leak fuel, causing the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, free of charge. GM sent out interim notices in late October. The recall began on March 12, 2015. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1‑800‑458‑8006. GM's number for this recall is 14405.
