Questions that narrow it down
General checks. Answering them does not confirm the failed part on this vehicle.
Worth checking first
- A stall with a charging warning is a different path than a stall with a fuel smell.
- Do not treat a no-crank event as the same job as a stall while driving.
Safety
When not to keep driving
- If you smell raw fuel or see a leak, do not keep driving. Get the vehicle somewhere safe and have it inspected.
About the data
Counts come from replacement.guide aggregates for this model year. Component evidence comes from structured complaint categories and reviewed component mentions in complaint summaries. Owner-situation evidence comes from reviewed symptom language in complaint summaries. Reports are signals, not diagnoses.
How to read this page
PRIMARY components are the validated first-line associations for this job. RELATED components can be involved but are ranked after PRIMARY even when they have more reports. A report involving a component does not prove that component caused the problem.
