Typical fuel system symptoms owners report
- Owners describe sudden unintended acceleration while parking at low speed, with the vehicle lurching forward and hitting a curb or wall despite the driver's foot on the brake.
- Some owners report the vehicle stalling or losing power at low speed and failing to restart, later traced to the fuel pump under recall 23V858000.
- A recurring pattern involves misfire codes (P0300-P0304) linked to carbon buildup in the fuel system, sometimes triggering a warranty extension bulletin.
- Several owners mention a persistent 'check fuel cap' warning light with no identifiable cause, even after repeatedly closing the cap.
- Owners also describe fuel injector failures requiring full replacement, occurring outside the standard warranty period.
- Some owners report delays getting recall parts for the fuel pump repair, with dealers unable to complete the fix promptly.
