Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Gas tank leak - strong gas/fuel odor/smell coming from inside and outside the vehicle. Check engine light coming on (dating back to 2009; was told then by Cadillac service advisor that my gas cap was loose). Problem has gotten worse over time to the point where I can no longer park the car in my garage or ride in the vehicle without windows rolled down. This week I took the vehicle back in for service and was told there was a leak at the top of the fuel tank where it connects to the fuel pump. That leak was allowing fuel and vapor to escape from the top of the tank. …”
