Engine · reported Jul 6, 2021

While driving on the road in cruise control engine just suddenly goes into limp mode and loses power. It is very unsafe to pull over the side of the freeway or while going uphill. Error code was p0087- low fuel rail pressure! After pulling over and shutting off the vehicle and re-starting it then it goes back to normal. Need to address this issue as it is very unsafe! It happened 4x during my travel of 8000 miles
