Your car's fuel system shut down while driving at 30 mph, forcing you to have it towed. The service center found burnt wires in the fuel pump control module (EKPS) and indicated that both the EKPS and fuel pump are failing intermittently, causing the vehicle to lose fuel pressure randomly and emit gas fumes. Additionally, your middle back seatbelt is non-functional, and your car pulls strongly to the right even after multiple alignments, creating a steering control issue.
