Description of the problem | Received recall notice that a steering wheel harness could rub and deploy the airbag at any time. I took the truck to hollywood chrysler hollywood fl and they repaired and returned. When i arrived and for the preceding months prior my "fuel economy display" indicated my average mileage was 15. 8 gallons per mile reasonably within the specs for this vehicle. Following the wiring harness repair the display now (and for more than 2 weeks ) reports 11. 8 mpg. Somehow the repair altered the fuel usage of the vehicle. The dealer checked and said nothing was wrong. But my mileage has gone from 15. 8 to 11. 8. I'm not driving differently. I'm losing 30% of my gas and the vehicle is now under advertised specs of 14/20 mpg there is an issue they don't want to discuss. Can the nhtsa contact other owners with this repair and verify? Can you help? Thanks |
