NHTSA complaint #10992104, filed 2017-05, 6,500 milesFuel system: “My vehicle at the time of the incident had 350 miles on the odometer. As I was driving down the street I felt a liquid splash onto my left foot and leg. At this same time I noticed the engine cut off and I was coasting without power. I quickly avoided traffic and pulled over to the side of the road. As I was unsure what liquid was on my foot and leg, I shut off the ignition key and turned it back on to witness the system trying to prime the fuel injection which caused gasoline to pour out the left side, from underneath the gas tank and onto the hot engine. …”
