Fuel rail cracks and leaks gasoline into the engine compartment.

- Orlando, FL, USA

I have a 1997 Cadillac Seville sts and the fuel rail sprung a leak resulting in gas spread on the engine and fumes in the passenger compartment. This is extremely dangerous and had I not stopped quickly, a fire would have resulted. From my car repairman and looking on the web, this is not an isolated incident. Note complaint 10045758.

In reference to open investigation PE03050. I have Cadillac Seville, sts, 1997. Had exactly the same problem as described -- strong fuel smell in the car -- when checked by the dealership -- there was a pin hole in the fuel rail -- I have seen it myself and it was scary. Logged the complaint with Cadillac: [xxx] on 09/30/2003, but they were not willing to investigate any further at that time. Cadillac should recall all these vehicle as soon as possible because this is a significant fire hazard. Please feel free to contact me at [xxx](work) if you have any questions.
