| 2006 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET AT 20 MPH, AND ALSO SHUT OFF 5 TIMES AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. THE CLUSTER PANEL TURNED OFF, BUT THE RADIO STAYED ON. THE ODOMETER SHOWED A MESSAGE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM). I PULLED OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE EACH TIME. THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP SAID THAT REAR AXLE PINION SEAL WAS THE ONLY RECALL FOR MY STS, BUT I AM EXPERIENCING NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V020000 , AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V007000 ALSO. *TR |
| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | CAR STALLED ON BUSY STREET AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER LATER INVESTIGATION IT TURNS OUT THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR IN FUEL MODULE ASSEMBLY SHORTED OUT AND MELTED THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR. IT ALSO MELTED PART OF THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE TOP OF MODULE. GM HAS RECALLED EARLIER MODELS OF VEHICLES FOR THE SAME SITUATION. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR MULTIPLE REASONS:STALLING ON BUSY STREET AND NOT BEING ABLE TO RESTART, FUEL LEAKS DUE TO HOLE MELTING IN MODULE TOP, AND ITS A FIRE HAZARD. *TR |
