AFTER MONTHS OF RECALL NOTICES I FINALLY HAD SPARE TIME TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT ON THIS RECALL. IT WAS OVER A MONTH WAIT TO GET IT DONE SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY RECALL FOR DODGE. I HAD TO SCHEDULE FOR 7AM SINCE I WORK FOR A LIVING AND NEED TRUCK FOR WORK. I TOOK OFF A FEW HOURS TO GET THIS REPAIR DONE. SINCE I HAD TO GET UP AN HOUR EARLY TO BE ON TIME. SERVICE DEPT WAS VERY ADAMANT ABOUT BEING ON TIME TO GET IN AND OUT I ARRIVED 10 MINUTES EARLY. THE LADY AT THE DESK INFORMS ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX RECALL. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND HAS CAUSED ME TO LOSE TIME AT WORK BECAUSE OF DODGE SCREW UP. I DEMAND A RENTAL TRUCK WHILE THIS SERVICE IS BEING DONE WHEN DODGE FINALLY GET THE PARTS IN.. SINCE DODGE CARES SO MUCH ABOUT THE CUSTOMER SAFETY..BULLSH*T.... IF YOU REALLY CARED THE PARTS WOULD OF BEEN THERE THIS WOULD OF BEEN HANDLE PROFESSIONALLY AND IT WOULD BE OVER. BUT HELL NO I HAVE TO WAIT TILL DODGE CALLS ME TO LET ME KNOW PARTS ARE IN AND WAIT A FREAKIN MONTH TO GET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT.. I AM PISSED... EXTREMELY....

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE NUMBER 4 CYL FUEL DELIVER LINE OFF OF THE COMMON RAIL SYSTEM CRACKED ON MY 5.9L CUMMINS DIESEL. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IF ANYONE SIMPLY SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET. DIESELTRUCKRESOURCE.COM FOR INSTANCE HAD ONE THREAD WITH OVER 40 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS. THE ISSUE WITH THIS FUEL LINE IS THAT IT IS HELD DOWN BY AN INFERIOR CLAMP DESIGN THAT VIBRATES, LOOSENS, THEN THE LINE FAILS DUE TO ENGINE VIBRATION. THE PART THAT CHRYSLER REPLACES WITH IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. WHEN MINE BROKE MY ENGINE WAS NOT HOT YET, BUT IF THE EXHAUST WAS HOT I'M SURE IT COULD HAVE IGNITED. I DUMPED PROBABLY 2 GALLONS OF DIESEL WHEN IT WENT. WITH SUCH A HIGH PRESSURE IN THAT COMMON RAIL SYSTEM IT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE AS WELL. I WORK FOR A DIESEL ENGINE PROVIDER AS AN ENGINEER AND WOULD BE ASHAMED OF MY COMPANY IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL TO PROTECT OUR CUSTOMERS IF THIS HAPPENED TO ONE OF OUR PRODUCTS.

BOTH DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL BACK WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. NOTHING FOR A YEAR. THEN I GET ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE. IT MUST NOT BE VERY IMPORTANT. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
