Good thing you were in a heavy safe vehicle... Even tho it had no power.

I'm leaning towards the fuel pump being on its way out.... Same thing happened to me about a year ago.

Big "J", you could be right. Is it normal to hear noise around gas cap area after you lock the car? Sometimes it lasts quite a while, but if I unlock the car, turn the key and the noise is gone. My 1st instinct is fuel pump on its way out. But dealer told me it could be e-vacuum testing.

I'll start with air intake, if not, then coil pack & fuel pump for dealer to check.

At least I won't got ripped off by those stealers, thanks to the great minds here.
