While driving the consumer noticed that smoked was coming from the rear. The vehicle started to vibrated uncontrollably. The driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle and drove it to the dealer. The mechanic informed the driver that the fuel injector needed replacing due to cleaning sensors. The consumer indicated that this problem started after pulling a trailer for 200 miles. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the replaced the injector pump.

Fuel lift pump failure could cause a serious accident, loss of power will cause loss of brakes,power steering, and control. Thousands of failures have occurred, the failed part is on national back order due to the large number of system failures. Chrysler/Dodge has not addressed this issue!!!.
