“051406 driving 35 MPH when check engine light came on when car lost all acceleration . Car was going downhill and I barely managed to brake and steer it clear into a lot. Towed to dealer. 49,000 miles. Fuel pump needs replacement which I found was way too soon. Cost $1300. Complaint is too soon for a replacement and more important was the heavy non responding steering and non responding braking. Very very lucky other cars were clear.”
