Typical fuel system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the engine and transmission jerk repeatedly for about a minute during a cold start, then settle down after the first stop.
  • Some describe the vehicle hesitating or losing speed on acceleration, as if stuck in limbo instead of responding to the gas pedal.
  • Others report the vehicle loses power and becomes unresponsive to the accelerator when pulling away from a stop, requiring a pause before power returns.
  • One owner reported the gear indicator blinked and the check-engine light came on before the vehicle stalled while turning; the dealer replaced the fuel pump, but the stalling recurred.
