Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The fuel pump just stopped working causing a complete shut down of all systems no steering, brakes, etc;just by luck the wife was driving slow in traffic but can you imiange if you were driving at high speeds!!!! and to top it off because of a poor design the consumer gets stuck with a 619.00 repair bill due to the fact the fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and is labor intensive to repair which really sucks!!!! thank you for your time but to me this is a real safety hazard not to mention the high cost just to repair a fuel pump
