Best of luck!

LOL, thanks for the laugh. Well said!

I have a 1996 Seville STS. Despite having all service work performed at my local Cadillac dealer, nothing was ever said about the fuel rail recall. Three weeks ago, the car quit running while on the freeway. I had it towed to the dealership, $120.00. Dealership called and informed me that the fuel rail were the source of the problem and that GM would pay for replacement. I went to pick up the car and was presented with a bill for $51.00 for diagnostics and was informed that the tow bill would not be picked up.

I paid the bill and drove home. Car quite twice on way home. Managed to get it started and returned to dealership. Fuel pump needed to be replaced. Could there be any correlation between the first problem and fuel pump failure. I had the original fuel pump replaced less than 30,000 miles ago.
