Description of the problem | Car shut off on interstate highway during rush hour. Car was completely without power and coasting without engine power at all. Avoided a serious dangerous hazardous situation which was a life threatening experience. Inexperienced driver would have surely been in an accident. My master german mechanics have informed me it is the high pressure fuel pump that failed and left my car vulnerable at 70mph surrounded by rush hour traffic. Updated 10/19/2017*js |
