 I have done a lot of research (after the fact) and learned many paople have had similar problems with this model/year. the most tragic case is the fuel lines needing replacement. i was told by dealership that i was lucky not to be a ball of flames driving on the interstate! that is very distrubing. this vehicle is too young to have such major component failures!! very expensive to replace (which would not be a problem if the car was over the hill) but the car has less than 95k on it. please advise as to the fuel line issue.*ak
