On February 14, 2023 around 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. (EST), I drove to the local WAWA. Upon entering the driveway of WAWA at a very low speed and depressing the brake the car failed to come to a complete stop. I pressed down on the brake as hard as I good, but the car did not come to a stop until hitting the security/safety bollard in front of the WAWA store. I did not get injured and no one else was injured. The front end of my car sustained over $4000 worth of damage. The insurance company repaired by car.

February 2023 Crash

Loss of power to a complete shutdown while at highway speeds of 60-70MPH with fuel tank reading 30 miles to empty. Tow was necessary to dealership. Replaced fuel pump. 2nd occurrence with 60 miles to empty. Broke down again while at highway speeds. Towed a second time to dealership. Replace high/low fuel pump. Was instructed not to operate vehicle below 1/4 tank of fuel. Major safety issue while at highway speeds with difficulty moving to a safe area. Seems to be a design or fuel pump issue.
