I purchased the car in January of 2021 and within 3 weeks, the car began to shut-off while I was driving. This happened regardless of the speed traveled. For example, I was slowing down to park and the car shut-off, I was approaching the highway, and less than 100 feet from the highway entrance, the car shut down. The battery was checked and the it was not the battery so the car was towed to the dealership. Although the car was, "Certified", this major life threatening issue was overlooked. When I had the car towed to the dealership, the car was under repair for 49 days. The problem was defined as a fuel pump delivery error and the entire fuel pump assembly was replaced. This is a problem that could have ended in death had the car shut down on the freeway. I also wonder, how are the additional dealer, "Certifications" is monitored? It cost about $2500.00/year for the additional dealer certification which I paid. My question is how could such a life threatening issue be overlooked on a car that was certified?
