What owners wrote
I would also like to bring to your attention the fact that the fuel filter is located on the right side of the frame just inches from the front bumper. I strongly feel that this needs imediate attention. Also, my seatback broke immediataly after impact which rendered my shoulder harness useless.
I own a 1996 cadillac seville. NHTSA recall campaign number: 04v110000 NHTSA action number: ea04003 my GM service request number: 71-584885453 issue: my cadillac's fuel rail has a leak (in fact 3). I found the recall on-line, and called cadillac. They stated they inspected the vehicle on 9/13/2004 and at that time, there was no leak. They did not replace the fuel rail with the stainless steel rail. And as they had inspected it in 2004 and there were no issues then, they had no duty now.
