I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla. I was driving about 60 mph down the freeway when suddenly with no warning, the car stopped accelerating. I had to cruise over to the shoulder out of danger. I eventually was towed to the dealership. They did a diagnostic test ($97. 00) and told me it was the fuel pump. They told me it might be covered under my extended warranty and that's when I asked them if water could have possibly gotten into the fuel system (gasoline). They said they did not do a fuel check, but would do one. They called me back and said it was contaminated gas and that some silvery metallic substance was in the gasoline. It cost me $1,605. 00 to replace the fuel pump, clean the fuel injectors, clean out the gas tank. Next day the "check engine" light came on. Took it back to the dealership and they said the bad gas had killed the catalytic converter and the ratio oxygen sensors. Cost me another $1,980. 88. Called the gas company I got the gas from and they denied my claim saying not enough evidence even though the dealership claimed bad gasoline. The gas company told me that when fuel pumps go, they can emit a metallic substance in the gasoline. Now I don't know who to believe after hearing about all these fuel pumps going. Funny thing is that when I was paying for my car the 2nd time around, a woman paying for her repair work said her fuel pump went out too. She had the same car -- 2005 Toyota Corolla !!! she also had to pay $1,500. 00. Something is fishy here.
