Consumer Description

STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND UPON ACCELERATION, THE ENGINE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.THE "FUEL PUMP" WARNING CAME UP ON MY SCREEN. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT DID NOT EXHIBIT ANY PROBLEMS, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE VEHICLE RAN FINE. NONETHELESS, THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. DROVE THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. SAME SCENARIO, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE DAYS. AWAITING TO SEE IF A NEW HPFP WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE.
