Experienced several instances of vehicle stop and stall during at various speeds over the past 3 weeks. We treated the gas for possible water, changed fuel filter, but problem persisted. Ran checks and determined it was a fuel pump problem. I removed the oringinal pump and noted that the wiring was bare and burned all the way through to the inside. I saved the pump to show, and will contact dealer tommorrow.
