NHTSA Complaint #11597052 — 2018 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA

I was driving home from Sacramento back to the bay. I pulled off the freeway to a stop light. started to drive across the intersection and the car just turned off. no warning or anything. lost all power and the dash lit up with alerts. Barely had enough speed to pull over to the Toyota dealership driveway. Car wouldn't start and it didn't sound good when it died. Best part is there is no way to put the car in neutral if it doesn't start(without a special tool and the ability to get under the car). Had it towed over the Altamont to my parents. Got there and the thing started (with a bunch of warning lights) and had it just enough to get it off the truck. Brought it to my friends dad around the corner who was able to diagnose it down to a faulty fuel pump with all his equipment and code readers. He replaced the pump and now it works fine. Seeing there's rumors of a recall against Alfa Romeo for these fuel pumps I wanted to document it. It could have been much worse if I was going freeway speeds and the car just shut off like it did. There was 0 warning or signs. Attached the price of the replacement Pump and O-Ring. Doesn't show labor costs to my friends dad.
