THE FUEL LINE IS LEAKING. IT COULD START A FIRE AND I HAVE CHILDREN. I FOUND A RECALL ON THIS ALREADY ON ANOTHER SITE BUT DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WOULD STILL BE VALID TO GET IT REPLACED. I JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AN INDIVIDUAL AND THEN 2 MONTHS AFTER THIS HAPPENED. CONSEQUENCE: (FUEL LEAKS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAN RESULT IN UNDERHOOD FIRES IF EXPOSED TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION) SUMMARY: (THE FUEL FEED AND RETURN LINES TO THE ENGINE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WERE NOT FULLY ASSEMBLED AND LOCKED. THE LINES CAN WORK LOOSE) REMEDY: (DEALER WILL INSPECT VEHICLE AND, IF NECESSARY ADJUST OR REPLACE THE FUEL FEED AND RETURN LINES TO THE ENGINE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM) I HAVE A 1993 CADILLAC SEVILLE STS…

BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 93 SEVILLE HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE REPLACED SOCKETS AND THEY CONTINUE TO BURN OUT, NOT THE BULB BUT THE SOCKETS? I HAVE ASKED OTHER SEVILLE OWNERS AND THEY TOO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN ADDRESSED BY GM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE? *AK

THE CAR STALLED AND WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE SHOP. THE MECHANIC TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO START, AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD EXPLODED, SENDING PIECES OF THE MANIFOLD THROUGHOUT THE SHOP. THE EXPLOSION ALSO DAMAGED THE POWER STEERING PUMP. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION WAS FUEL THAT HAD COLLECTED IN THE MANIFOLD DUE TO A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC FUEL RAIL. SOMETIME DURING 1993 THE MANIFOLD WAS RE-DESIGNED TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO RECALLS, LEAVING THOUSANDS(?) OF CARS WITH THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I DID FIND A DEALER SERVICE BULLETIN CANCELING AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM FOR THE INTAKE MANIFOLDS FOR THIS MODEL AND…
