How does the 120,000 mile warranty help you when you're stuck on the side of the highway? This happened to many people. Mine gave up as I was pulling onto my street... the day I was supposed to take it on vacation... on my birthday. That is not "reliable" by any stretch of the imagination.
preventative maintenance

they issued a full recall on all effected HPFP's

if yours happened before the recall, well... bad luck in that case, you were an early adopter.
