First ECM module needing to be replaced, we replaced it then after that started running rough, took it to auto zone, 12 codes popped up. Did normal maintenance of vehicle, oil change spark plugs. Then a few days later we were on the highway and all of a sudden we lost all power, pushed on accelerator no power, front end started shaking, so pulled over, vehicle was very hot and smells like gas, had it towed compression test were no good, was told gasket were bad, also was told to check the recall list. Im up set because our children were in the vehicle with us. I hope we are able to get whatever needs to be fixed on this vehicle. Thank you.

I went to Cadillac to get the recall fixed they said it was closed out and couldn't fix it and now I can't smog my car and I can't tell if I have gas or not and I'm scared to drive it without getting the fuel pump fixed

On any in clining road or acceration of the gas, stalling and power acceleration decreases dramatically.and extremely smell of gas inside the carriage caused nausea, severe migraines, light headness, to me and my too young daughters. Fuel efficiency also decreased...

The contact owns a 2005 Cadillac Cts. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was not able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump discharged into the engine, which caused the oil and engine bearings to seize. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 14V394000 (electrical system), and 14V542000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
