What owners wrote
Fire marshall stated defective part @ the fuel pump/fuel tank system which caused fire and completely totalled the car. Fuel tank exploded quickly. Luckily my baby was not in the back seat and no one was injured. I lost a lot of my belongings that were in the vehicle as I was in the process of moving.
While driving at any speed vehicle stalled without warning. This resulted in loss of power steering and brakes. The consumer pulled off the road, and let the vehicle sit for approximately 15 minutes before restarting. The vehicle restarted, but stalled again within a mile. The mechanic performed a diagnostic test, which read fuel pump failure as the cause of the stalling. The current investigation on this issue was initiated, pe02066. The ocnsumers daughter was the driver.
