| Diesel Fuel System problems |
My 2007 Dodge ram blew a tipm a/c unit. I was told by the dealer it was because the air conditioner compressor clutch locked up and burned out the tipm. My extended warranty was denied. I paid $1500. 00 to get this fixed this week. The other day I was driving to work and my truck started vibrating and completely stopped in the middle of a very busy road. It was towed to the dealer where I was told it had a foreign substance in the diesel fuel. It smelled like paint thinner. The warranty rep said it was caused by dirt in my fuel tank caused by not changing my fuel filter frequently. Now they tell me it needs 6 fuel injectors and a fuel pump total cost $8000. 00. By the dealer and warranty rep. The truck has 67000 miles. They said this is not warranty issue and will not be covered.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) allen samuels Dodge in waco declined to fix my Dodge Ram 2500 with 39,000 mi. They said at one time or another that there was water in my diesel. That is all they had to come up with to not have to pay for the problem with warrenty. I have 100,000 mi. Warrenty on drivetrain, which is really no good if you can't use it. I think Dodge should not be able to advertise on tv for 100,000 mi. Warrenty when they know they can get out of warrenting the vehicle. That is a bull [xxx] line not to pay. This cost me 4,322. 91. They said they had to replace all 6 injectors to fix my problem. Started out replacing 2, but that was not going to fix the problem. So that is how they got to replacing all 6 injectors. Tried to call and work with Dodge Chrysler assistance program. Only talked to women about my 5. 9 diesel engine. The women assigned my case worker to me named ryan. He never once contacted me about the problem. Guess they are well trained to do a bad job.
