2018: “Brought car into dealership for a fuel pump recall . I took it home and parked it in the garage till later that week . While I was driving it I noticed it had a smile and smoke came out into the cabin . So pulled over and called my local Lexus dealer and told them what waes going on . The service manager then told me to drive this car to the dealer . I said no way .so he told me to call a tow. While I was waiting for the tow truck I lifted up the hood so others would know my car is broken down . So I looked to see what had happened, I notice the fuel pump had yes bolts in them . …”
