Vehicle will just stop running. The fuel pump has been replaced. After being replaced it quit 15 miles from the dealership that repaired it. They could not diagnose. Vehicle will start again after sitting several hours. They told us to drive until it quit again. Frustrated, we took it to a more sophisticated dealership who also could not diagnose the problem and told us to drive it until it acted up again. The vehicle has quit 2 more times, but on the weekend but starts in a few hours.
