I agree. Why that particular component as opposed to something else (like a tire failure or a dead battery)?

Anyway, the fuel pump failed on my ML on a holiday weekend miles away from any reputable dealer. I will add that for six months, between the hard starts, stalls and occasional CE light, I chose to ignore ALL of the warnings and pressed on anyway. That was an $1100 mistake!

FWIW, fuel pumps generally don't fail abruptly...unless it's under a stress condition...like racing. I've had pumps fail on different cars, and all of them gave months of warnings before they "gave up the ghost"...
