“I own a 1992 Dodge d-250 with a 5.9l cummins diesel engine. I was driving on I-95 one day under load when all of a sudden my truck tried to take off. The injection pump failed and gave it full throttle. It was scary as hell and I am lucky traffic wasn't bad and I was able to get it into neutral avoiding a crash. I later found out that there was a recall for that pump (recall #605). My truck has the faulty pump.... Is stamped #169.... Was never replaced.... Yet Dodge says there were never any recalls for my truck. None at all. Ever. …”

Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. ... Fuel tank straps broke at point of attachment to frame of truck, weight of fuel dropped tank down, causing fuel filler tube to be jerked from side of tank, causing extreme spill onto highway. The fuel tank straps broke due to metal fatigue at point of stress, and because of manufacturing design it was impossible to examine unless the straps were completely removed from vehicle.”
