My last contact was on 11/2/2015 when I was asked for a current pay off which I responded on 11/3/2015. I just received last week the recall notice for the fuel heater issue, but nothing on the steering recall. A dodge dealer that I was to work with in huntington beach ca. Which I bought a replacement vehicle because the representative that I spoke with on 10/1/2015 stated that I should not drive my vehicle my dodge ram if I am concerned with my personnel safety, is now is presenting issues with me regarding the recall process as well as with the 2 vehicles I purchased on 10/4/2015. I lost the use of the additional incentive that was supposed to be offered. The value of my vehicle continues to decline, and I now required to make an additional payment on a loan for a vehicle I not driving, am not receiving the full retail value, and am being subjected to poor treatment by a private dealership who states that they had no involvement with the initial sale of the vehicle.

2 months after the factory warranty expired, the diesel fuel pump started to leak diesel all over the ground. I noticed the leak on the road or the driveway, where I parked the truck. After about a week I took it to a garage. The truck was still able to be driven because it had not completely blown the seal yet. However, fuel was leaking out of it causing a serious environmental and fire hazard. This is happening so frequently in these trucks that the part, that cost $5800.00, is on serious back order with dodge. It is so far back ordered that I had to have this part replaced with an aftermarket pump. I called dodge and also emailed them twice, but they stonewalled me and refused to help or get me anyone higher than their customer service reps (not even a manager) to discuss having them cover this expensive part that seems to be an issue for a lot of dodge owners. This needs to be a recall with dodge since it leaks diesel and is a hazard.
