Description of the problem | I started to have trouble with the truck as it would not start in the mornings when i was trying to go to work. I replaced the fuel pump and it did not solve the problem. Shortly after that, my battery would be dead most mornings. I replaced the battery, but still the problems continued. The truck started to lose power while i was driving so i took it to a mechanic. He told me that the tipm was faulty and needed to be replaced. I had to take it to the dealership i purchased it from to have it fixed. I have driven the truck less that 7000 miles since i purchased it. After speaking with fca, they say that they won't do anything to help out because the truck is out of warranty. I want to know why a recall was never put in place and enacted because i have seen thousands of complaints from people having the same problems. I would like to know why i'm having to pay $1794. 03 out of pocket for the faults of the manufacturer pf the vehicle. |
