| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My complaint concerns my vehicle. the reason im writing is in hopes that we can get a safety issue addressed, and corrected. there has been a repeated trend over several years now concerning the lift pump (fuel transfer pump) utilized in the 2500/3500 cummins diesel application. i am a member of the failed lift pump club and have experienced this lift pump failure on my 2001 3500 dodge ctd 2 times. this failure causes the truck to loose power and sometimes die in both cases mountainous 2-lane roads with no pullouts. this can be life threatening if the truck owner is on the highway towing a loaded trailer or as i was in the mountains. i am not alone in this concern, there are thousands of 1998.5 - 2002, 24 valve cummins turbo diesel owners that are concerned and have complained to dodge about this problem with no resolution. this can be documented by going to the turbo diesel register on the web. http://www.turbodieselregister.com/...15&pagenumber=2. *nm |
