Example complaints

Fuel system: “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. …”
