Strong smell of gasoline was coming from the car while driving and while stationary. took car to be checked out and learned that a crack and leak was in the plastic supply line of the fuel pump module. this caused fuel to spill and settle on top of the fuel tank which created a dangerous condition and possible fire.

While driving on the interstate, during a violent rain storm, my cars check engine light went on and the dic message "reduced engine power message came on" which immediately limited the to approx. 2500 rpm. this action created a totally unsafe driving situation. the reduced power slowed the car immediately, in heavy traffic, in a heavy rain storm , with low visibility. lucky for myself and my wife, i was able to avoid creating a series of collisions and traversed across three lanes of traffic to the side of the road. by immediately reducing the engine power created a very dangerous scenario that should never, under any circumstance be created. *tr
Fuel pump assembly leaks from the plastic "pvc" 90 degree elbow located on the top of the fuel pump. normal vehicle operation will cause the plastic "pvc" elbow to crack which in turn leads to a pervasive and dangerous fuel leak. the fuel leak then begins to puddle on top of the fuel tank which then flows down the fuel tank towards exhaust and eventually the ground. a strong smell of fuel is present while vehicle is on or off. the leak becomes greater as more fuel is sent to the motor. this is a pervasive issue on many 2009-2015 cts and cts-v vehicles which can be seen on many message boards and forums. this issue has the high potential to cause a fire in which injury or death can occur. in addition, this leak does cause a fuel shortage to the motor affecting drivability of the vehicle. the piece that leaks is inferior and should be replaced to avoid issue. a recall should be issued to resolve this potentially deadly issue.
