Description of the problem | I was driving on a highway around 60 mph speed and suddenly my car couldn't speed any further and lucky for me i was driving next to center divide and could pull it, i was able to avoid any accident. It was peak traffic time ( early morning commute ). So i believe this needs to looked into that if there was a recall which was not applied to all the make, models. After diagnosis it was found the issue was with fuel pump on which there are certain recalls on the newer models but for 2008 model they was none i confirmed with the customer service. |
