FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRUCK RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET. WOULD NOT RESTART. POPPED THE HOOD AND GOT STRONG SMELL OF DIESEL FUEL. DISCOVERED CYLINDER NUMBER FOUR HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE ( FROM RAIL TO FEEDER TUBE) LEAKING A LOT OF FUEL ONTO THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND THERE WERE NO SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. TURNS OUT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINES AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN IN THE PAST TO CAUSE THESE TRUCK TO CATCH FIRE IN SOME INSTANCES. IT IS A $71 PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP BUT IT DOES AFFECT OTHER CYLINDERS AS WELL. ALL 6 HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES SHOULD BE REPLACED AND SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE DEFECT I WILL BE PUTTING THE MONEY OUT TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE. FOR A WHILE TRUCK WOULD JUST LOSE POWER AND JERK AT HIGH SPEED. ONCE IT DIED COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING AT A MODERATE SPEED. EVENTUALLY IT JUST WOULDN'T START AT ALL. PURCHASED THE EXTERNAL RELAY KIT AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. SINCE THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TIPM IN MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES, I'M ANNOYED THAT THIS WASN'T PART OF A RECALL. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE DANGER OF A VEHICLE TURNING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION.

I ALSO ASKED LAVONYA MY ADDRESS ON FILE AND SHE READ IT EXACTLY AND I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION FROM THEM EITHER. SHE WAS QUITE RUDE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM WITH MY THREE CHILDREN MY WINDOWS FOGGED UP PREVENTING ME FROM SEEING THE ROAD. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN IN THE COLD RAIN SO I COULD HAVE LIMITED VISIBILITY. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND CALLED THE DODGE RECALL 17 NUMBER. I FIGURED IT WAS A BROKEN ACTUATOR THAT KEEPS THE AIR FROM CHANGING DIRECTION. DODGE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE COVERED IF IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WASN'T THE ACTUATOR AND IT WAS THE AIR BLEND DOOR. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD COST $1,500. TO FIX IT. I TOLD THEM I CANT AFFORD IT. I LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND THE ACTUATOR IS BROKEN. ITS A $25 DOLLAR PART AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $1,500 TO FIX IT.
