Filed Mar 14, 2018


ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN DRIVE MODE AND IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE AT A STREET LIGHT AND WHEN TURNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. THEY HAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. I AM WORRIED THAT I AM GOING TO BE KILLED IN THIS CAR.

FAULTY FUEL PUMP SENSOR...VEHICLE LOOSES THE POWER AND CREATES JERKS ALL TIME WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. BUT THE VEHICLE STATUS STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS 100% GOOD TO DRIVE ON THE SCREEN. REACHED OUT TO DEALER AND THE SERVICE MAN STATES ALL THIS BECAUSE OF FAULTY FUEL PUMP SENSOR. DOES NOT ANSWER WHEN WE QUESTION ABOUT THE ISSUE OF WHY TEH VEHICLE IS 100% PERFECT TO DRIVE WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.
