Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS, AMIDST OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND STOPPED RUNNING. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I DID NOT CREATE AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE GOING 60!! I LOST POWER STEERING BUT MANAGED TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN NOT START AND ON THE IDRIVE IT GAVE ME A FUEL PUMP WARNING . ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AFTER CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS AS IF NOTHING HAD OCCURED. THE WARNING DISSAPPEARING AND IT DROVE NORMALLY. IT HAS SINCE THEN DONE THIS SAME THING 4 OTHER TIMES. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE AND WANT TO KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE IS RECALLED AND IF NOT THEN WHY IS IT NOT RECALLED?
