Consumer Description

FUEL PUMP RELAY MELTED REPLACED REAR FUSE BOX AND RELAY TRIED TO START VEHICLE ON 6 JUNE 2016 VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. HAD VEHICLE TOWED IN TO DIAGNOSE $81.99 JUST PURCHASED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. PURCHASED A WARRANTY BUT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH A VEHICLE. AFTER EXTENSIVE READING I FIND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A VARIETY OF CADILLAC VEHICLES. I HAD TO PAY $796.43, PARTS WERE $397.51.THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPEN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE. SINCE CADILLAC KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR MY SUFFERING AND PAIN. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE STARTING IN THE SEAT AREA. I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN UNTIL IT WAS TO LATE.
