Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) i began having the infamous "dead pedal" syndrome about three months ago. trying to pull out onto a freeway was especially dangerous when the dead pedal would happen. it would happen off and on, when you would least expect it. (2) the vp44 finally went dead on or about august 9th, 2007. the consequences were not having a ride to work, and having to borrow my neighbors truck for three days. (3) to correct the failure required getting a new vp44 pump to replace the old one, which cost me out of my pocket $1,600 out of my own pocket. being that i am a active duty infantry officer in the united states marine corps, (currently stationed at new river air station, camp geiger, north carolina) and have been on three combat deployments in the last three years, i haven't that much money to spend. i have used my combat pay for paying for a wedding, house, and getting out of debt.*jb
