| Description of the problem | The fuel pump unpredictably stops working and renders the vehicle unable to move. The fuel pump cut out on me at a traffic light, and i was unable to restart the scooter. This created a very dangerous situation for me on a 3 lane divided highway. The fuel pump has cut out on me in traffic more than 10 times. Problem is fixed only by waiting. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes, sometimes it takes 24 hours. I was unable to replicate the problem at the dealership, and yamaha refused to diagnose the problem for free. I spoke with yamaha customer service and they were not helpful. I told them that they should investigate this issue, as this 2011 yamaha zuma is having fuel pump problems exactly like the problems the 2009 models had. No warning light comes on, nor does the ecu send an error code, but nevertheless the fuel pump cannot be heard pressurizing the system. |
