Fuel pump failed within a minute of initial warning and performance indicating a problem. While driving ~60 mph on the highway, available power dropped to zero within a couple tenths of a mile, *barely* allowing me to move to the shoulder. Screen error/fault indicated vehicle was ok to keep driving but to schedule service soon. Car restarted an ran for another tenth or two of a mile so I was able to move out of the dangerous shoulder off-ramp location to a slightly better shoulder location. Dealership diagnosed a failed fuel pump (10-20 psi of available pressure vs 60+ normally). They replaced it and a control module to address the problem. No parts were retained by me. Until that trip I experienced no signs of a fuel pump or power delivery issue. Vehicle had ~46k miles on it and was operating normally until that point.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your
pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
