| Description of the problem | I was driving on a city street and all of a sudden with no prior warning at all, several lights popped up on my dash alerting me of an issue and my car just shut completely down. I immediately pulled over concerned it may be due to the engine recall. I had no issues with the car and never had any indicator lights on the dash light up at all ever. It turned out my fuel in tank pump needed to be replaced. I am still shocked that this happened with a 2013 model car. I am very curious if there are a lot of other people who have had this same issue. I had a toyota camry 2002 for many years and other older model cars and never had to replace a fuel in tank pump. I was quoted $750+ to replace the fuel pump. But this could've have been a very dangerous situation for myself and others, if i had traffic behind me and in front of me. Someone would have easily hit me not being able to have enough warning to stop. |
