Hit a speed bump - loud noise - could barely brake - avoid collision and after eventually being able to stop; looked under car and fluid gushing out like a rainstorm. Call insurance company who stated it was a collision; however, repair shop and adjuster for insurance company stated it was bound to happen due to rusting and cracking of brake line, etc. And will not pay for repair - auto repair did send a paper showing a recall that was issued by NHTSA id: 04V110000 on June 2, 2004 dealing with fuel system and the fuel rail construction which may degrade and crack. I informed not only the insurance adjuster and the repair shop, and I also called Cadillac at L-8---458-8006, about this recall and since I never received a recall from Cadillac, it would appear that this is an issue which should be addressed by them. I thank you for your assistance.

I bought a used car with an extended warranty. A week later the fuel switch went out. I had to spend $80 to get that fixed at the same dealership. After a few weeks the turing switch started smoking so I took it to different dealership to get check out and they fixed it for $100 (co pay) while my car was being fixed they found a major oil leak and asked me if I would like to see if my warranty would fix it. The warrenty people came out and said no we are not going to pay the $1,500 -$2,500 to fix it. The car needs to go back to where you bought it so they can fix the car because the leak was preexisting. At that time I went and talked to one of the owners. He said he would look into it and advised me to go and let the service manager take a look at the car. Come to find out the used car lot knew about the leak and did not tell me at the time of sale otherwise I would not have bought the car. I was told by the service manager that the sales department may pay to get it fixed and they declined. I am now stuck with a $320 a month payment on a car that I can't drive very much until the leak is fixed. I would like to get my old car back that I traded in. I was told that I would be able to under the used car lemon law act. One more note I also need to get the steering colum repaired that would be another $210 and I work for the company I bought the car from.
