Yes, the car has stayed in an 'extended' warranty due to this problem. The car probably should have been replaced years ago when we realized that they were going to be this unable to find a solution to the problem. The fuel filters were getting shredded by the excess carbon floating around in the diesel tank. It seems that since the carbon was leeching back into the 'clean' fuel around the fuel injector (or more than one of them) that it was then hitting the filter and clogging it and such.
So far, no problems, but it isn't hot out yet, and I am still unsure as to whether or not this is an actual fix. But, the car is under 50,000 miles and now has a new fuel system...
