 Experienced several instances of vehicle stop and stall during at various speeds over the past 3 weeks. we treated the gas for possible water, changed fuel filter, but problem persisted. ran checks and determined it was a fuel pump problem. i removed the oringinal pump and noted that the wiring was bare and burned all the way through to the inside. i saved the pump to show, and will contact dealer tommorrow. i noted several similar complaints on your site, this is very scary considering what could happen with this problem, i think everyone who owns this car needs to check this out. this seems to be a manufacturer problem, is there any recourse to be taken or way to recover associated costs? please notify of any information.*ak
