I lost my virginity last night.

X1 Trojan · 02-05-2010, 10:35 PM

Well on my way home from school....I am on the 405 north ---> 101 north interchange and all the sudden I lost power, check engine light comes on and the car starts shaking at any rpm above 1500.

Throw my hazards on...

I frantically try to merge to the far right lane (while going 10 mph amongst people going 70 mph!) which was so scary in itself.

Get off at the first exit and used Burbank Blvd, to Ventura Blvd to get all the way to Bob Smith BMW in Calabasas where my parents were waiting to pick me up.

Left the car overnight and the keys....got a call this morning that....(though I had already suspected it) my HPFP was dead and they would be replacing it today.

I know this is a common issue with our cars, but I had my car in the dealer not even a month ago for a problem concerning loss of power and low rpm trouble and they said everything was fine!

Thankfully I havent begun doing any engine mods so I dont have to deal with warranty issues

sigh...I already miss my car!

Send in a report to the NHTSA!!!

Filing a safety complaint

Don't just say, "It's okay, they fixed it for me..." You could have been seriously injured.

In your case, the failing fuel pump is like a reverse of the Toyota uncontrolled acceleration issue.

That keyboard is stickier than a Toyota gas pedal.
