2014: “Diving down a street the fuel pump shorted out causing the fuel pump module to burn up . This caused the car to lose complete power and turn off I was pulling away from a stop light at the time in the middle of traffic. Car had to coast across several lanes to a parking lot then be towed to a dealership. As I pressed the accelerator the car jolted forward then the motor turned off and mil came on”
