It seems chrysler doesn't have the correct fuel pump ! They sell my 3 different ones and all do not work. They even match it with the VIN! I can't get one to work and I spent thousands. A lot of others on 300 forums have had the same issue !! So many 6.1 and higher that need that fuel pump but chrysler seems to keep sending me parts and taking my money! Please help
Contacted cutter dodge immediately after receiving a recall notice on my vehicle. I was told that the part was back ordered. While waiting for the replacement part to come in I received a recall notice for another defect. I went to the dealership to schedule an appointment and was told that they had the first recall part but the second recall part needed to be ordered. I have not received a call from the dealership since dec 2015.
