Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING FROM WORK ON A BUSY FRIDAY AFTERNOON THE VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE COMPUTER SCREEN STATES "ENGINE MALFUNCTION! REDUCING POWER" "HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION" LESS THAN A MINUTE THE ENGINE STALLED. LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE BRIDGE FOR HOURS, TRY TO START THE CAR BUT IT WON'T START.
