My name is john simonelli and I purchased a dodge ram truck. I had many problems with it like brakes,air, fuel problems, raidiator, and worse of all stalling on left turns. I reported to bell dodge of my truck stalling on left turns. They looked at it once and said the truck was ok. After that I took the truck down to the dealer each time reporting of incident. All they did was document the problem and send me away. They would not even make an attempt to solve the problem despite the danger the truck was to me and others. To prove my case I had to push them to hook up a co-pilot for readings. The computer would show the vehicle died for some unknown reason. However the co-pilot would not tell them how to fix problem so their for the problem did not excist. Then I had to drive around with a cam-corder to record problem. After doing so I was forced to sell vehicle because they did not know how to fix problem and would not give me a new truck. I have too much to say so if you have any questions please call me. I took a 14,500 dollar loss on my vehicle, someone else is driving this unsafe vehicle, and finaly both bell dodge and dalmler chrysler ignored my lawyer which cost me an additional 2,600.
Failure of fuel pump and fuel pump/level, caused shut down of engine. Could not restart engine truck had to be towed into shop, all parts replaced still under warranty so no charge for replacements.
Replaced gas gauge and motor on power adj. Drivers seat.
Fuel pump had to be replaced due to engine dying out. Engine check light came on & then died out. Had fuse replaced due to blowing out constantly. Engine & catalytic converter affected.
Original gas gauge failed,owner replaced it and failed again. Yh
The truck does not run over 60 mile per hour with out buring a lot of fuel. Yh
Since the 1st pump failed I have seriously diminished power and mileage. After chrysler got involved...they kept throwing parts at it but handed me a lot of stories. Would not send to cummins. Cummins agreed to diagnose the problem after several months of run around with chrysler. Still not resolved.
Consumer recived a letter from dealer saying that they had a recall on the enigine computer, recall #799, and also a recall on a defective fuel pump, recall #788. Consumer says that the dealer does not have parts yet .
