| Description of the problem | I had my new vehicle only 4 days with 120 miles or so that i personally put on it. I was out one day and came to a stop sign and stopped. The car just powered down to not running at all. I put it in park, restarted, put it in drive to move on and it did it again. I put it in neutral and had someone push me to the other side of the road where i would be out of the way. This continued for about 5 times when finally it took hold and i managed to get home ok. The next day i had to go out and it seemed to be ok and had to put gas in it. I took it in to the dealers on friday and told them about it so they kept it to find out what the problem was. Got a call back today on monday 2-9-15 and they told me it was a faulty fuel pump. Wow, on a new vehicle! Said the part should be in on thursday due to being the only fuel pump anywhere near our area and the weather being iffy it would take longer. This was so unexpected of a highly rated vehicle. I had my pontiac vibe for 10 years w/ only a a/c problem once. With 130k miles on her i decided to upgrade to all the bells and whistles and now this. I am disheartening for sure. Let's hope this is the problem and nothing more. Thanks for listening. |
