Lift pump failed on my 2000 dodge ram 5.9 cummins engine only 1500 miles after the warranty lapsed (happened at 101,500). Since the timeframe was so close, would like to see if I can recoup some $$$ for the parts, I mean c'mon, $2800 (less $800 core charge) for this part, and so close to after the warranty expired ? Have talked to other owners of trucks like mine, via the internet, in person etc., and was referred to this site. Is there or has there been any attempts made to recall this part ? Anyway, lucky for me, it failed less than 2 miles from home, but what if I had been on a trip hundreds of miles from home, or right in the middle of freeway traffic ? Thanks for reading, will be more than happy to reply to any further correspondence.

Transmission does not shift correctly. Brakes grab, pull, and lock up. Consumer states while driving at speeds above 55 MPH and hitting a bump, it will throw the vehicle to the side.
Consumer has been having a problem with vehicle since 3 days after purchasing it. Vehicle will start up, but cuts off when in reverse. Dealer was suppose to be fixing it. They said fuel was bad during winter. Computer in engine will not allow enough fuel to keep engine running.*ak the dealer tried to replace the computer, but when the problem got worse, he put back in the original computer. The consumer states that this problem is a major safety issue since the extreme temperatures are life threatning if the vehcile stops runing suddenly.
While driving truck pulls badly to right. Dealer told consumer it would straighten up. Consumer states there suppose to be a recall on vehicle.*ak the right front wheel assembly fell off due to weld failure. The vehicles surges forward randomly.
