About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Engine stops running with no warning. This can occur while idling, accelerating, cruise speed, any time of year, any weather condition. Sometimes it will restart by shifting to N and re-cycling ignition switch without having to stop or leave road. Sometimes, as is the present case, it will not restart. I have owned this vehicle since new. This has been an ongoing problem beginning at 80,000 mi. Manufacturer extended warranty to 120,000 miles, has continued beyond warranty period and is a source of safety concern. This has occurred on interstate highways, in the middle of busy (high speed intersections). Dealer performed numerous attempts to fix problem, but they continued. I have had this vehicle to the dealer more times than I can count. I have had assistance from other professional sources (after the warranty period was over and was convinced that dealer/mfg. Could not or would not fix the problem. I have replaced fuel injection pump 2 times minimum, have replaced pmd/fsd at least 5 times, replaced auxiliary/lift pump two times, have drained and cleaned fuel tank 2 times. Most recent injection pump replacement was in Aug/September 05 (7000 miles ago). I have spent at least $5000 trying to fix this problem. Engine stopped last Monday and will not restart. Am surprised no complaint has been filed before now.
