Consumer Description

DRIVING IN MIDDLE LANE ON HIGHWAY OUT OF STATE WITH KIDS IN THE CAR ENGINE JUST QUIT--NO POWER, COULDN'T SIGNAL TO MOVE OR GET TO SIDE OF ROAD, JUST SAT IN MIDDLE LANE. VERY SCARY!! TOWED TO A NEARBY DEALER-TOLD US THE FUEL PUMP SHORTED THE ENGINE AND HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. NO ADVANCE WARNING-ONLY A BLOWER MOTOR SEEMED TO BE MALFUNCTIONING THAT MORNING (HAVE HAD A/C PROBLEMS). NO ISSUE WITH POWER UNTIL IT JUST QUIT. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT WHEN RESEARCHING THIS YEAR AND VEHICLE--LOSS OF POWER OR DECREASED POWER. WITH THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS FOUND, SOMEONE SHOULD RESEARCH THIS BEFORE ANOTHER CAR IS STRUCK FROM BEHIND AND THERE ARE INJURIES OR WORSE, FATALITIES. TO HAVE SOMETHING THIS MAJOR HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY SYMPTOMS OR WARNING LIGHTS, AND FOR THE NUMBER OF CASES FOUND, SEEMS IRRESPONSIBLE AT BEST, NEGLIGENT AT LEAST. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS! *TR
