Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1. events leading to failure were none, bus was running fine and just stopped 2. the school bus was being used on a regular route and just quit running while going down the road with no warning. 3. we had to replace both the electric lift pump as well as vp-44 injector pump vehicle is now under recall #05e-007 for replacement of lift pump and possibly the vp-44 injector pump. my comlaint revolves around the fact that cummins will not reimburse the school system for the vp-44 pump that was replaced on 11/15/2004 due to failure that i feel is directly related to the current recall. i feel that they should reimburse use for parts that were put on the vehicle to correct problem that they are currently fixing. just because our problem occurred 7 months prior to the official recall should not allow them to get out of their responsibility for replacment.
