• 11/28/2019· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I SMELLED GAS IN THE CABIN THEN LATER AFTER FILLING THE TANK, I HAD GAS RUNNING OUT UNDER THE CAR. INVESTIGATION REVEALED MELTED PLASTIC AROUND THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR PINS ALLOWED GAS TO LEAK ON TOP OF THE TANK THEN RUN DOWN OUT OF THE TANK. I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN 5 MONTHS LATER. THE FUEL PUMP SITS LOWER THAN THE FUEL PUMP SO WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, ABOUT 3 GALLONS OF GAS WILL LEAK OUT. I FIGURED OUT THE CAUSE WAS FROM HEAVY OBJECTS, IN MY CASE, PEOPLE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT BUT CHILD SEATS OR POSSIBLY GROCERIES COULD EXERT PRESSURE ON THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR CAUSING THE PINS TO HEAT UP AND MELT THE PLASTIC. I INSTALLED AN UPGRADED FUEL PUMP COVER MADE OUT OF ALUMINUM AVAILABLE AT WWW.FUELCONNECTORFIRE.COM AND AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR HAVE NOT HAD ANY MORE ISSUES.

• 10/21/2021· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I have been having trouble with my cruise control lately. If I start my car remotely and then drive my cruise control won't turn on unless I hold down all 4 buttons on my steering wheel. When this happens I also end up having difficulties disengaging it and there will be a 1-2 mph difference from what the cruise speed is set as to what speed the vehicle is actually traveling. I noticed there was a safety recall in regards to this issue that was issued on 05/17/2018 but my Vin didn't register for that recall so I'm wondering if my car was missed or if there are more vehicles like mine having this same issue that wasn't taken care of in the last recall issued.

  I HAD A LOW IMPACT CRASH AFTER I APPLIED MY BRAKES AT APPROXIMATELY 2-300 FEET BEFORE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY TIRES ARE GOOD AND THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD PRIOR TO THE CRASH. I SLID APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET INTO A CAR STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE OF A PRIOR ACCIDENT IN MY LANE. WHEN I BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKES, I WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH. I TRAVELED ANOTHER 4-5 SECONDS INTO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR! I THINK SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONED. THE COLLISION CENTER MECHANIC WHO IS WORKING ON MY CAR, TELLS ME THAT IF THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THEN THERE WAS NO CODE THROWN TO THE EVENT DATA RECORDER. THEREFORE, HE SAYS THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO IS TEST DRIVE IT AFTERWORDS AND TRY AND DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, AND WE TRADED INSURANCE INFORMATION, I DROVE HOME, 60 MILES AND THE THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. WHY DID THEY FAIL THIS TIME?
