Consumer Description

We were traveling SE on I-30, in the passing lane, doing approximately 75 MPH when the vehicle started shuttering. It was subtle at first, then became more violent. The engine lost power and we had to do an emergency lane change with no engine power, no power steering, no power brakes. We then coasted to the shoulder with traffic passing us and behind us speeding by. Luckily we were near an exit and we barely had enough momentum to get away from traffic. We were lucky to change lanes and exit without getting into a collision with other traffic because we went from highway speed to slow very quickly and had to change lanes and exit. It was the high pressure CP4.2 fuel pump failure the dealer eventually informed us. They also said this is a common problem and they had several other failures just like this.
