 While driving the check engine light came on, vehicle was taken into dealer but the problem could not be duplicated, on the second occasion at 75,000 miles while driving the vehicle all of a sudden stopped, all power went out without any warning, the vehicle was towed again and the mechanic believed that it was the central computer system, but he could not replace it, vehicle was then taken to another mechanic who then diagnosed the problem as the fuel pump, consumer has since sold the vehicle.*jb
