I OWN A 2015 JEEP AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET TURNING ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND CONTINUE TO SLOW. MY VEHICLE THEM CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I WAS THEN FORCED TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SAFETY SINCE THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLE DRIVING BEHIND ME. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP I WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FUEL PUMP DID NOT GIVE ANY ADVANCED WARNING, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON THE VEHICLE TO INFORM ME. I WAS PUT IN AN UNSAFE POSITION WHEN MY VEHICLE BROKE DOWN. I HAVE LESS THAN 40K MILES ON MY JEEP THERE IS NO WAY A FUEL PUMP WOULD GO OUT ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES. IT COST ME $556.02 TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. HOWEVER ONCE THE PUMP WAS REPLACED THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT READ CORRECTLY. THE ACTUAL GAUGE WAS FUNCTIONING BUT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT SEND CORRECT READINGS AND MY GAUGE WOULD NOT MARK MORE THAN 3/4 TANK EVEN WHEN THE TANK WAS FUEL. IN THE END I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP THREE TIMES BEFORE THE GAUGE WOULD MARK FROM EMPTY TO FULL CORRECTLY. ALL THESE EVENTS CAUSE ME TO BELIEVE THE FUEL PUMP IS FAULTY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED.
