Twice in one month my vehicle has died while driving. I have been braking and turning when this has happened and it dies without warning. No check engine lights are on the vehicle and it has 150,000 miles. It turns right back on when this happens, not sure what’s happening I lose all power to my car, checked the battery and alternator and they are perfectly fine.

When I was gassing up my car, a fuel leak occurred in the gas tank and my car caught on fire. The gas station attendant used a fire extinguisher to put the fire out. I had 113,262 miles on my car. As you can see, the leak in the plastic gas tank caused the gas tank fuel pump to burn up and burn up its wiring harness. I don't want any money but I just thought the NHTSA should know. I do not need money because my insurance company will be reimbursing me for my total loss of the car.
