| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The fuel transfer pump did not have enough pressure to properly send enough fuel to the diesel injection pump which failed at 74,365 mile on the 2001 dodge 3500 pickup. this created a loss of power or acceleration at the desired time or level needed. this could have cause an accident due to lack of power. the dealer claims the injector pump failed due to after market chip installed by original owner. but the selling dodge dealer of this used vehicle did not replace with factory chip when sold to me last october. vehicle had about 22,000 miles then. they did replace the transfer pump under warranty. but charge me $2576.79 for the replacement of the injection pump. we feel that the transfer pump was the cause for failure and the injection pump should have also been under warranty. *jb |
