FUEL PUMP FAILED WITH NO SCAN CODES DISPLAYED TO THE ISSUES. REPLACED FUEL PUMP. CAR STARTED AFTER TWO CRANKS. DROVE THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS. WHILE PARKING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. FORTUNATE THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE. YOU WOULD THINK A NEW FUEL PUMP WOULD LAST OVER A COUPLE OF DAYS. *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
