On 10/18/13 i was traveling 40 mph on a main road and an f-250 pulled out into oncoming traffic from being stopped on a side road and we collided. Both our vehicles had to be towed away.

This repeated multiple more times before i called a tow truck to take to a local mechanic. It was diagnosed with bad fuel pumps, and the cost to replace was $1600. This prompted me to call the…

The next morning, the same problem. When i finally got it started, i took…

Multiple issues. It began with the key less remote entry not working properly, not opening or locking the car. I then began to notice the car would unlock itself overnight (luckily it is kept in a garage). Moving forward, when i would put the key in the ignition, the car would start, i would then put the car in reverse, and it would immediately shut off, all power gone. I would have to slam the car into park and try…

Ever since then, i have been having issues with starting engine. It will take me about 15-30 minutes to start this, took the vehicle to a…
