Consumer Description

CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST CAUSED CRASH, AS I WAS ACCELERATING AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WITH CARS COMING. CAR WOULD NOT REV OVER 2K RPM, AND TOOK ABOUT 2 MINUTES TO GET TO 45MPH. DEALER DIAGNOSED CAR AND SAID HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD. THEY CHANGED THAT, FUEL FILTER, AND CLEANED DIESEL TANK.
