Description of the problem	After stopping at a traffic control device, driver accelerated into an intersection, at which time the vehicle's engine stalled. The vehicle had to be placed into park, and was then able to be restarted. The dealership's service center performed a fuel pump pressure test, resulting in a failure. It was determined that the fuel pump had failed, and needed to be replaced. Owner has two of these vehicles (exact model and model year), and the same incident/equipment failure took place with both vehicles during the span of a month. The same part was replaced on the other vehicle which had less than 10,000 miles at the time of incident.
