“While the car was in motion, the fuel pump failed, the vehicle stalled without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. Luckily, I was on a city street, not on a highway! Over 18,000 similar year/model cars were recalled for this exact same reason a few years ago (NHTSA campaign number: 15v189000), but not mine. Now I am faced with a $2,400 bill to get it replaced!!”

From the engine bay of the car down to my fuel tank and pumps were shooting out flames covering the car itself by the time I was able to run from my room to my car I can see that the damage was done. I proceeded to call the fire department and put out the fire myself while I waited for them to arrive, I did not drive the car for a total of 8+ hours and it was sitting and parked in front of my drive way. …”
