What owners wrote
I was driving my car was sputtering or trying to shut off while I press the gas and I let go of the gas and it catches and stayed on. I took it to the dealership and they said they found nothing wrong. May 3rd around 12pm im driving on the freeway and as im getting on the express lane going 60 it dies and I couldn't move the steering wheel and I slammed into a guardrail.
Low pressure fuel line leak could cause fire, fuel smells very strong in the cabin I have 2 2015s both have had this issue one is from california so it not a salt issue. Happens on cold start
