Vehicle was stalling at highway speeds, and a loss of power steering occurred. Also. There was a short in the fuel pump because of faulty wiring.
Cabin smells like fumes for starters an gas gauge is off car says it has quarter of a tank an than I run out of gas almost had a accident because of this ! Also car has tons of electrical problems if it sits for more than three days battery dies but my main concern is my fuel gauge.
