I have done a lot of research (after the fact) and learned many paople have had similar problems with this model/year. The most tragic case is the fuel lines needing replacement. I was told by dealership that I was lucky not to be a ball of flames driving on the interstate! That is very distrubing. This vehicle is too young to have such major component failures!! Very expensive to replace (which would not be a problem if the car was "over the hill") but the car has less than 95k on it. Please advise as to the fuel line issue.
