Example complaints

Fuel system: “Vehicle had an irregular, low idle, stuttering, lack of power and was very difficult to start. Sometimes the vehicle's engine would die at intersections while idling. The engine stopping at intersections is dangerous and could cause an accident or death. Upon investigation, I realized that the electric fuel pump hose inside the fuel tank was leaking therefore not supplying the appropriate pressure to the injector. I purchased a new submersible fuel line and two hose clamps and replaced the leaking oem fuel hose.”
