Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IN OAKLAND, CA, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON, MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, AND AS SOON AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY THE CAR STALLED AND STOPPED ALTOGETHER, AND WOULD NOT RESTART.

THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE WERE SHARDS OF METAL THROUGHOUT THE FUEL LINES. THIS APPEARS RELATED TO NHTSA ENGINEERING ANALYSIS EA11-003. *TR
