: the contact stated the vehicle engine stalled. The problem occurred mostly when the vehicle went over a bump in the road or when turning. The engine restarted automatically. The problem occurred at a variety of speeds. Upon inspection the dealership determined the transfer pump and injector pump need to be replaced in order to restore proper fuel delivery.
Fuel pump malfunctioned. Consumer contacted the dealer and manufacturer, they claimed since no one complained about it there was nothing they could do. It would cost $3000 to repair it.
We own a Dodge Ram 3500 diesel truck. The transfer pump has quit working twice now. This time it dies right in the middle of the road and there was a near fatal experience. Two semi almost hit us, we couldn't get it to restart. Had to have it towed to the dealership. This has happened twice now.
Informed by other cummins diesel owners, and Chrysler technition, that pump failure is not a question of if, but a matter of time. Owners have to install extra guages & equip to monitor a manufacturers weak link, at no small expense.
While traveling on a side road and without prior warning vehicle shutdown. Was able to coast car to a parking lot, consumer opened door and vehicle was on fire, dealership was aware of problem. Consumer stated that fire started at fuel pump area and spread.
