Consumer Description

AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSE POWER THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT COME DASH. THEN ON THE IDRIVE SYSTEM IT ALWAYS SAY "FUEL PUMP" PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS UNEXPECTED AND HAS PUT ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT THE FLASHERS ON. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES THE FLASHERS GO OFF AND THE CAR IS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. LASTLY, THE PROBLEM ALWAYS HAPPEN UNEXPECTED REGARDLESS ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I CAN BE TRAVELING AT 25 TO 75MPH AND IT JUST RANDOMLY HAPPENS. MANY OCCASIONS I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE TRAVELING IN THE FAR LEFT LANE. DUE TO MOVING TO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND CARS TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED.
