As I was driving down the highway, my vehicle suddenly took off full throttle causing a loss of control. Luckily I was able to shut the vehicle down before any damage could be done to my engine or other vehicles, and I had the vehicle towed home. Dodge has a recall (#605), for the exact symptoms I was experiencing, though my injection pump does not fall under the date code. I took my injection pump into the dealership and they said they could not do anything about it. I then took apart the injection pump and found that the fulcrum lever, the same piece that caused the recall for recall #605, had indeed broken sending tiny bits of metal throughout my injection pump causing the runaway. I feel that dodge is responsible to compensate me for the parts that were broken, and should also extend the recall to all cummins diesel engines equipped with the ve pump.

Defect investigations
Steering column separation
Mr. Larry a. Sackey submitted a petition to the federal safety agency by letter dated april 18, 2003, requesting that agencyfurther investigate the defective collapsible steering shaft system on 1987-1995 vehicles manufactured by the daimlerchrysler corporation.in part because of 49 cfr ? 30120(g), the federal safety agency has decided to limit the scope of the petition vehicles to 1993-1995 models, excluding the 1993 jeep grand cherokee and 1994-1995 dodge ram series trucks that were recalled (93v210 & 96v230) for steering column failure.if the analysis of these vehicles had identified a potential problem, the scope could have been expanded in an investigation.a review of odi's data base shows no recent complaints and a lack of a complaint trend concerning the subject issue on the subject vehicles as a whole or by individual models.therefore, the petition is denied.for details, see federal register notice volume 68, no. 130, july 8, 2003.
