What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated a piece of tire rubber lying in the road punctured a hole in the fuel tank. The plastic fuel tank was located underneath the driver's side front and rear passenger seat. There was no cover to protect debris from hitting the tank. The dealership was notified. The plastic tank hangs below the frame about 3 to 4 inches. Updated 08/25/06.
Vehicle lost power for 3-5 seconds at highway speeds approximately 65 MPH on three separate events. Vehicle slowed down due to power loss while in heavy traffic. Three other times at idle speed in drive and in park engine stalled and immediately restarted. Loss of power steering due to engine not running when stall event happened. I performed inspection of fuel pump relay which is internal to passenger side fuse block.
