“My cars has been hesitating when driven and stalling, I replaced the battery, then it stalled two more times. I brought the car to the casey dealership they put in on the computer and test drove the car they could not duplicate the problem and informed me it may be my fuel pump but the engine is not throwing a code so I was basically told to wait until the car will no longer start then they can diagnose the problem. …”
