2008 Cadillac CTS Fuel system Problems

“The car only has 35000 miles on it. The engine misfires constantly when giving gas especially if your going up hill and there is more load on the vehicle. After I had $5000 worth of work to fix the problem at a Cadillac dealership. They couldn't fix the issue so they came back and said that we needed a new engine. We told them over and over again that we don't think it's the engine but they guaranteed us the new engine would fix the problem. So another $5000 later and still not fixed. The vehicle idles fine, it only happens while driving. …”

“The fuel pump fuel feed line has developed a leak and is spraying fuel creating a fire hazzard. On top of the tank sits the fuel pump. On the fuel pump the feed tube connects to the fuel line which then goes to the engine. This leak created a fuel odor and got progressively worse. I found dampness on top of the tank, which was gasoline. Upon my further investigation I noticed the fuel spraying out of a pin hole sized crack. This is similar to a recall issued on other GM vehicles in the past and I feel the Cadillac CTS should be included. …”

“The problem started with the timing chain, which LED to coil issues and catalytic converters issues which LED to low head beams constantly burning out. Everytime work is done it causes a chain reaction to other parts in the car that requires more and more money. Now the engine light is still on and I am told that since the first catalytic converter was repaired, the second one now needs replacing and the low head beam on the passenger side has wiring issues that will not allow the new bulb to burn, I am told that the wiring appears to be spliced. …”

“I was traveling at 25mph when there was a sudden very loud explosive/grinding noise(it brought people running out of adjacent buildings). I hit my brakes immediately, but the noise continued until I put it into park. I exited the car and under the rear axle of my vehicle were multiple large bolts and screws lined up in a row. The vehicle was totally disabled, and subsequently was towed to the dealer. They determined that all the rear axle bolts just fell out at once.there was no other damage found to the vehicle. …”

“While driving my 2008 CTS, with no advance notice, the engine just died. It seemed to run out of gas. My fuel gauge read between 1/2 to 3/4 full. This happened 3 different occasions. All 3 times I had to have it towed back to the dealership that I purchased the car from. All 3 times I got different reasons it happened, from bad fuel pump in gas tank, to some type of bad connection, etc. After this happened the 3rd time, I demanded a new car, which I received. I have had no problems with this CTS, runs great.”
