On September 1, 2024, I was driving my Giulia over a busy 4-lane overpass. An error code related to the fuel system flashed on the dashboard, and the car stopped nearly instantly in the lane where I was driving. Upon seeing the error code, I was not able to pull over into the breakdown lane - it was that sudden.
Received multiple code resulting from fuel rail, fuel pump, and fuel control module issue that cuts power when driving leading to unsafe driving situation. The car would stall in the middle of driving starving of fuel
My wife was driving the alfa on a tree lined winding country road when the car died without warning. The road has no hard shoulder so it was shuck on the road. My wife had to get out of the car and wave at to warn other traffic that the car was stuck on the road just around the bend.
I was on the highway ramp picking up speed, and the car suddenly started to loose thottle. I pulled over to the side and the car went limp. The car shut off. I attempted to turn on the vehicle and it would not.
In october 2023 while driving the fuel pump suddenly lost power resulting the vehicle to stop dead in the road causing a major safety issue which could have resulted in a tragic accident. Todate (1/31/2024) a replacement fuel pump can not be located
