Had The Car Towed. - ANTHONYD - 10-14-2009
Wow, what a day.
First off, I go out to my car this morning to go to work and find my car has a flat. No biggie, toss the donut on and get in to go.
I get in the car and the bloody thing won't start. it turns and turns and then sputters to life. GREAT! Off to work I go. I figured it was finicky because it sat for 3 days.
Heading home for lunch and the car sputters at an intersection and dies. Can't get it started. No way, no how. Some helpful guy helps me push it through the intersection and into a parking lot.
I get in to start it.... Turns and turns and turns.... nothing.
Call tow truck and have the car dropped off at the dealership where it sits now.
I suspect a fuel line issue... The sputtering to it's death gives me that idea. No idiot lights, no dimming of the dash, audio etc... just dead.
I wonder how much this is going to cost me?
What a day.

and don't forget the cost of fixing the tire (or replacing it :ph34r:)

That really sucks! Maybe you will luck out and it will be just the fuel pump, there is a TSB for it so It might cost nothing.
Best of luck.

I figure the pump is toast. Engine just isn't getting gas.
As far as tires go, Damn they got expensive.
Anyone have any suggestions on a good all-season tire?

Warranty is for 10 years from warranty start regardless of date .. I just had mine replaced on Wagon 2 when it went in for the spring recall at 219,000 kms
