Vehicle diesel system has a problem transferring fuel into the truck for use. It runs out while the front fuel tank is still full of fuel. The fuel tank never reads over half full. It is being towed for the second time during the month of july. It will be in the dealership shop for the 3rd time since purchased, 2nd time this month. We are told they do not know what to do, since they cannot figure out the problem. We are currently waiting for a service bulletin. This truck is our only work truck and a car loaner does not help with the towing of our mini.
It started with fuel guage failure severel times. I was told to bring the truck by and they would reset the computer until a bullitin from the manufacturer came out. The truck broke down away from home then they had a bullitin and made the repairs. Truck breaks down again kansas service manager said they had lots of problems with this fuel system. Truck has new transfer pump installed then gets picked up, five miles later fuel guage fails once again.
