Started up the vehicle and was running rough when out on the highway, vehicle just stopped. Had to be towed to the dealer. Had been diagnosed that the #3 and #4 engine cylinders had misfired. Also, replaced the fuel injectors #3 and #4, and spark plugs. Several days later the same problem. This time the #4 engine cylinder again failed. Contaminated fuel, replaced the fuel pump. Contacted dealer and manufacturer.
