general problems of the 2003 Dodge Ram 3500

The contact owns a 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel. The contact stated that the engine stalled while at a car wash without warning. The vehicle was then taken to a private mechanic. The mechanic stated that the lift pump failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notifed, but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 216,000 and the current mileage was 227,000.

The fuel systems in these model trucks are bad. There was a recall on them years ago, which I just found out and now I still owe on the truck. I was not the first buyer. The original owner did not go to fix the truck when the recall came out and he traded it. Yah, that will fix the problem! well, the place we bought it from didn't fix the problem either. And we didn't find out about it until way later. And now we are going to be stuck with a truck that doesn't work, but we have to put in a lot of money into. Anyone have any suggestions. If a vehicle has a recall why do they only give you a certain amount of time, to get it fixed. That is not fair for people that buy vehicles later on, when your not the first to purchase it. What do we do?!?.
