Consumer Description

Engine stalled on a highway going 65 mph in cruise control. I had 1/4 full fuel tank. just before the engine stopped working I read information on my dashboard I have to stop the car in .5 miles, than .3 miles and engine stalled within seconds. I was able to pull over with dead engine. I shut down the car using key (I have a mechanical key for ignition) and car started with a message 'hybrid system malfunction. output power reduced . visit your dealer." I visited local mechanic who read the codes and instructed its a faulty fuel pump. I filled the car with more gas and drove couple of miles with reduced power. I left the car for 36 hours and it started to run ok by itself. dealer replaced fuel pump and now it works fine. The day of incident I was able to smell gas around engine bay before incident. I was able to smell strong gas smell after incident after I filled more gas in the vehicle most likely from engine bay fresh air intake. My assumption is this is due to bad fuel/air ratio and the result was unburned fuel. The week before the incident engine felt it kicked in roughly on its start up (my car is a hybrid). I had a fuel pump recall performed 4 months before but the fuel pump failed based on codes p319300 p008700 p107a2a . dealer replaced fuel pump (2nd time) and car works well and much smoother than before.
