Bought car in nov with clean carfax - 5months later it seemed to have a fuel injection problem. On way to the dealer, car did not stall, but speed dropped to 30-35 MPH on the highway (engine light came on) had to drive in breakdown lane with hazard lights flashing, and on exit ramp shoulder . Trying to pull out into the driving lane on ramp- speed dropped to 5-10MPH. - no acceleration.. Car was hit by another vehicle just behind the front left wheel - the car was totaled...cause still unknown.
