“I was traveling on a busy roadway at 40 MPH when fuel filter warning light came on suddenly and vehicle lost all power - including the loss of power steering and power braking. Thankfully I had not yet entered the highway and was able to slow vehicle down but with great difficulty and not injure anyone around and that day was not towing a load. Vehicle would not restart. I had it towed to nearest dealership who then informed me that the bosch cp4 fuel pump had exploded sending metal shrapnel throughout the entire engines fuel system. …”
