2006 Cadillac CTS Fuel system Problems

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT ECM RELATED PROBLEMS. EVERY COMPLAINT IS THE SAME. THE COMPUTER CAUSES THE TEMP GAUGE, FUEL GAUGE TO STOP WORKING, THE TC LIGHT & ANTITHEFT LIGHTS TO COME ON, AND THE KEY BEING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. IT RENDERS THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE BECAUSE THE TEMP & FUEL GAUGES STOP WORKING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE HAS BEEN THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THOUSANDS OF CARS!!! WHEN I CONTACTED CADILLAC ABOUT THIS THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSES FEE. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH POOR DESIGN AND/OR BAD PARTS. I HAVE INCLUDED JUST ONE OF MANY LINKS THAT OWNERS HAVE HAD WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR. THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CADILLAC NEEDS TO FIX THIS ONGOING PROBLEM!! HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CADILLAC-CTS/T0O6TKB3DQGANK509/P3 THIS IS SO WRONG THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM I MENTIONED ABOVE AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT!!!!

CAR WAS PARKED AT WORK I WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT WAS LEAKING/POURING GASOLINE UNDER CAR. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DEALERSHIP NOTED, "GAS LEAKING AT TOP OF TANK, CONNECTOR SHORTED AT TOP OF FUEL MODULE WHICH BURNT A HOLE AND WAS LEAKING GASOLINE". IT CANNOT BE CAUSED BY A ROAD IMPACT AS IT OCCURS ON THE FUEL MODULE ON THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. ENTIRE TANK HAS TO BE DROPPED OFF OF CAR TO REPLACE THE MODULE. I INVESTIGATED IN THE CADILLAC OWNERS FORUM AND IT WAS NOTED THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED ON OTHER CADILLACS AND GM VEHICLES.CAUSED BY A SHORT. I NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER OF THIS AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INDICATES MORE FUEL THAN WHAT IS IN THE TANK. FOR EXAMPLE THE FUEL GAUGE READS 1/2 TANK WHEN THERE IS ONLY A FEW GALLONS IN THE TANK. *TR
