fuel pump replaced 21 days later needed fuse panel

MUCH THE SAME AS OTHERS DESCRIBED - CAR FAILED TO START AUG 2ND - WOULD TURN OVER STRONG GETTING NO GAS - AAA HAD TO TOW - $100.00. DIAGNOSED NEW FUEL PUMP $550.00 FOR PUMP $200.00 LABOR - CAR RAN GREAT UNTIL YESTERDAY - WOULD NOT START AGAIN - TOWED AAA $100.00. NOW NEEDS TO HAVE THE FUSE PANEL CHANGED OUT UNDER SEAT - TRY TO FIND THIS PART - PANEL WILL BE APPROX. $400.00 PLUS $150.00 LABOR.

I HAVE AN EXCELLENT LOCAL MECHANIC - IF I WENT THROUGH MY LOCAL DEALER THESE COSTS WOULD HAVE EASILY DOUBLED, ALWAYS HAVE A MECHANIC YOU TRUST.

THE POINT I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS IS THIS - MY MECHANIC SHOWED ME HOW HOT THIS FUSE AND PANEL BECAME -- FIRE SITUATION WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE DUE TO THE PANEL LOCATION, DO NOT PUT CHILDREN IN THIS SITUATION IN CAR SEATS, QUICK NOTE - I DO NOT DRIVE FAR DAILY, 10 MILES TOTAL, THIS SITUATION OCCURRED TWO DAYS AFTER A WEEKEND TRIP TO VERMONT 240 MILES TOTAL AVERAGE SPEED 70 MPH - GREAT GAS MILEAGE ON TRIP 26.9 MPG.

I DON'T KNOW IF I STRESSED OUT THE PUMP ON THIS TRIP - THIS WAS MY THIRD AND LAST NEW CADILLAC - THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ITEM FROM CADILLAC. THEY LOST MY BUSINESS.
