Vehicle would not start. When they put it on scope they found that the fuel rail pressure was to low. They found metal shavings throughout the fuel system as if a part was coming apart from the inside. They had to replace entire fuel system from pump to injectors plus all the lines and injection pump. This vehicle is 2 years old.
