VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I-295 SOUTH AT 65 MPH. APPARENTLY, GASOLINE WAS NOT GETTING TO THE FUEL PUMP. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT; I HAD TO COAST FROM THE FAST LANE TO THE SHOULDER (THREE LANES)...IT WAS SCARY! VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (BRANDOW CHEVROLET, FLORENCE, NJ). THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND SENDER WAS BAD. HAD TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED. *AK
