FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE WIRING HARNESS ABOVE THE FUEL PUMP BECAME HOT ENOUGH TO BEGIN MELTING A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK COVER WHICH WOULD HAVE ALLOWED FUEL TO ESCAPE OUT OF THE TANK, UNDER THE BACK SEAT, THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHEN GAS WAS SMELLED IN THE UNIT, WE WILL CALL 255, AND FUEL WAS FOUND ON TOP OF THE UNIT UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT. WE THINK THIS FUEL LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A O-RING LEAK WHERE A FUEL LINE CONNECTS TO THE TOP OF THIS FILTER LOADED DEVICE/SENSOR. DOING DUE DILIGENCE, OUR MECHANIC CHECKED ALSO THE INTERIOR OF THE FUEL PUMP BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE AND FOUND INSIDE THE TANK AT THE WIRING HARNESS WHERE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION HAD BEEN HEATED AND HAD BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF MELTING A HOLE IN THIS COVER. THIS IS THE SEVENTH VEHICLE WE HAVE EXPERIANCED THIS MELTING EVENT ON. *TT

POWER TRAIN
ON MY WAY HOME FROM RENO, NV I WAS GETTING ONTO THE I-80 FREEWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND THE CAR MANUALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL ( IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY) THE CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER AND THEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, I CLOSE TO AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF. THE CAR RMPS WERE VERY NIGHT THOUGH THE CAR WAS STALLED. THE DEALER LATER DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. SO FAR I'VE HAD 6 RECALLS WITH THIS CAR AND 3 REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING EITHER ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT TO LOW GEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. EX: I'M DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND I HEAR THAT SOUND...LIKE IT HAS BEEN THROWN IN 1ST GEAR. AT TIMES HAVE BEEN DRIVING 60+ MPH WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE ONLY WAY TO "RESET" IS TO HURRY AND PULL OVER AND RESTART VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT SPORADICALLY, DURING THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IN APRIL 2018. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COMES ON. I NOTICE A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSIONS, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW IT IS NEEDED ON MY MODEL CAR.
