When driving at an undetermined speed, the check engine light appeared on the dashboard, then the vehicle stalled. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealership and the mechanic determined that the fuel pressure failed. The radiator cap was replaced. While in motion, about 2 miles at 30 mph, the check engine light had come on. The vehicle was returned to the mechanic. The next day the vehicle would not start. The dealer found that fuel leaked and ruptured the manifold. Recall#04V090000. The consumer was told that the recall was not in reference to her vehicle. The consumer sent in a thank you note after recieving her recall notice.
