Consumer Description

DRIVING HOME FROM DETROIT TO INDIANAPOLIS ON HIGHWAY... CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN WENT OUT A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD... LATER CAME ON AGAIN... ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE... THEN SUDDEN POWER LOSS....ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED... COASTED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES... RESTARTED ENGINE... ENGINE RAN WELL ENOUGH TO GET ME TO NEXT EXIT BEFORE LOSING POWER AGAIN... THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T RUN WELL ENOUGH TO DRIVE IT AFTER RESTARTING.... AFTER EXPENSIVE TRIP TO DEALER FOR REPAIR, FOUND OUT ISSUE WAS A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR THAT FAILED... THIS IS KIND OF LIKE HAVING YOUR CAR LOSE POWER AND STOP RUNNING BECAUSE YOUR COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE FAILED... ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SHOULD NOT SHUT CAR OFF IN RESPONSE TO THIS FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FAIL... THIS GAUGE IS USED TO OPTIMIZE FUEL CONSUMPTION... IT'S NOT A PRESSURE REGULATOR... UNEXPECTED AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS ON A HIGHWAY CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS... ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SHOULD NOT BE PROGRAMMED IN THIS WAY... *TR
