What owners say
Extreme jerking and stalling of the engine at hwy speeds in a congested area causing extreme worry about being hit from behind or being tossed off and trashed on I-40 causing serious injury or death. During the mechanical inspection it was discovered that the fuel pump's plastic housing has a flaw, there is a cold mold line in the pressure vessel. There is a long area of the housing that is visibly flawed; an excessively thin wall section that is a result of a molding processes inability to maintain proper mold flow at the proper temp to assure a completely solid pressure vessel. This flaw has allowed the fuel pump housing to rupture causing rapid changes in fuel pressure being supplied to the fuel injectors. This unpredictable jerking and stalling of the engine is a danger to all who may have this unpredictable flaw in their system.
