    Fuel pump driver module failed due to design flaw which caused galvanic corrosion. Aluminum body of component acts as the sacrificial anode for the frame which is steel. This caused my vehicle to stall at 65mph and lose power and thus caused the loss of power steering and hydraulic brake booster while traveling a high rate of speed. This could be especially dangerous on highways, congested areas, or areas with…

    While setting at a stop light a warning message came on about checking electronic throttle control. When i release the brake to accelerate when the light turned green i coasted into the intersection only to find that the accelerator peddle had no response. Fortunately the engine idle was enough to get me through the intersection before the light turned red. I then coasted to the nearest parking lot and shut the…
