Consumer Description

COASTING DOWN HILL ON A DIRT ROAD, GOT TO THE BOTTOM AND ENGINE HAD DIED. ROLLED TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED TO A MECHANIC, REPLACED FUEL PUMP. THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE AND EACH TIME THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD. THE LAST FUEL PUMP ONLY LASTED 3 MONTHS AND LIKE THE TWO PREVIOUS PUMPS, IT WAS BRAND NEW!! THIS IS 3 BAD FUEL PUMPS IN A YEAR AND MY WALLET CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP THIS UP. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS? *TR
