Fuel pump broken

I need a new fuel pump, curios how common and serious that is? It's under warranty so I am not concerned about the cost.

seriously dude, you need to stop making threads. 400 when buying a car, and at least 2 every time something breaks?

Its under warranty, let them fix it and stop worrying about it.

+3. All vehicles have fuel pumps that can go out. Not serious.

and on top of that, its under warranty so it will say N/C on the work order, so there is no price information.

If you're really curious, sign up for EPC, look up the part number, go to any of the dozen or so online parts retailers, and look up the price. Labor charges you can estimate.

i got the car back on Thursday- it then died on me on Friday- After it got towed to the shop- one of the mechanics told me the car was out of gas- he guessed that after the MB Dealer fixed the fuel pump- they didnt fix the sensor and that's why i didnt know the car was out of gas- he pumped 5 gallons in the car and it then started- it's been in the shop since friday- does this make sense to you guys- i bought the car 2 weeks ago and have driven a total of 3 days- the rest of the time its been in the shop
