TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 CADILLAC ELDORADO. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS DIMMED AND THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR OFF, VERY LOW REFRIGERANT, AND SERVICE RIDE CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RESET THE COMPUTER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 94V158000 (EQUIPMENT) AND 93V088000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.
A RODENT PRESUMABLY A SQUIRREL BIT 2 TINY HOLES IN THE PLASTIC HIGH PRESSURE (35 PSI) FUEL LINE. INITIALLY UNDETECTED, THE CAR WAS DRIVEN SEVERAL MILES SPRAYING GASOLINE THE WHOLE TIME. WHEN PARKED IT PRODUCED A LARGE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE UNDER THE CAR. LAST WEEK THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY MUCH LARGER HOLES. THE LARGE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE UNDER THE CAR WAS WARNING ENOUGH NOT TO START IT. THE FUEL SPRAYS SEVERAL FEET AND HAD THE ANGLE OF THE PUNCTURES BEEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER IT WOULD HAVE SPRAYED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. THE ENSUING FIRE WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRIFIC AND AN UNAWARE DRIVER WOULDN'T HAVE ESCAPED WITHOUT SERIOUS INJURY AS THE FUEL BEGINS TO SPRAY JUST BE
