| I purchased the car used on aug. 10, 2012. i went to gas station on aug. 12, 2012 to fill it up with gas, and had trouble starting it afterward. i have had the same problem everytime i have put gas in it since, and it does not make a difference which gas station i go to, i have the same trouble. i even tried to leave it running one time and it ended up dying and had trouble restarting. i have to push the gas pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there to start it and keep pumping the gas pedal as i pull away from the gas pump and for several seconds after i pull away it is still trying to die. i have filled up with gas about 5 times since i purchased the vehicle and every time i have had the same problem. the only time it has a problem starting is while i am sitting at the gas pump. once i leave there, it starts fine everytime until i stop to get gas again. i am writing this on sept. 24, 2012. *tr | |||

| No prior warnings or conditions existed prior to failure. the vehicle would not start and it was diagnosed by a fellow coworker to be the fuel pump. aaa was called to tow the vehicle , and upon arrival, put car in neutral to back it up in order to tow. immediately, the front driver tire when flat, and it was a result of the front strut assembly breaking and causing the coil spring to snap and pierce the front tire. it has been 6 days , and i was still without the vehicle which was only 3 1/2 years old with 65,000 miles. i was told that nothing was covered by warranty and replacement parts were not available. in order to get the vehicle fixed quickly i had to accept parts from a 2006 vehicle.*ak | |||
