| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 6/30/06 we were driving our dodge 1999 ram 2500 diesel pickup, when it suddenly stopped running. my husband was able to force the pickup across traffic and to the side of the road. the pickup had to be towed to a dodge dealership. we now find out that dodge diesels have a problem with its fuel transfer pumps which cause the primary injection pump to fail suddenly and without any warning. this places the occupants at risk since your vehicle has no power, no power steering and no power brakes. our vehicle is awaiting repair at the dealership, estimated at $3,000- $4,000. dodge recognizes that they have a problem with their pumps, since they have a retrofit marketed and in stock at the dealership but they refuse to do a recall. although our vehicle has low mileage, our time of ownership disallows us from warranty work. dodge won't even speak to us. this is a problem that can put drivers at great jeopardy. but dodge will not address it other than at the owner's expense. *jb |
