Faulty fuel pump sensor...vehicle looses the power and creates jerks all time while driving. Check engine light on. But the vehicle status states that the vehicle is 100% good to drive on the screen. Reached out to dealer and the service man states all this because of faulty fuel pump sensor. Does not answer when we question about the issue of why teh vehicle is 100% perfect to drive when check engine light is on.
