| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving the fuel gauge suddenly dropped from 1/2 tank to empty and the fuel alarm sounded. i was able to immediately stop and refuel while only being able to fill about 1/2 a tank full. this happened on three days will on vacation traveling. i called my home purchase dealer after the second event to discuss the problem and was advised to keep the fuel above 1/4 tank and bring to the shop on return from vacation. upon inspection, i was advised that not one but both fuel pumps had 2 different error codes. i was aware of the fuel pump problem and recall and advised, only on asking, that the vin number of my vehicle was not included in the recall list and i was 4,000 miles beyond warranty. the full repair was on me for $600+ dollars. it is obvious that from other postings of this problem that this is a manufacturer defect and my vin number should have been covered. i could not get satisfaction from the dealer or chyrsler. after purchasing chrysler for the last 3 new vehicle purchases i am not inclined for chrysler to be selected for my next new vehicle purchase.*ak |
