Consumer Description

FUEL PUMP MODULE OVERHEATED, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF FIRE. THIS PART WAS RECALLED IN 2006-2007 CTS-V AND STS-V, BUT CONTINUES IN THEIR 2008 DTS. IT IS DIFFERENT IN THE MANNER IT OCCURS, BUT WITH SAME RESULT. REPLACED THE MODULE, CAR DIED AGAIN, REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND MODULE AGAIN, CAR DIED AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH CHILDREN STRAPPED IN SITTING RIGHT OVER THE BURNING HOT MODULE. *TR
