Description of the problem | Front end shook bad, engine light flashing. Truck cut off. Would not start. Towed to dealer. Was told to drive 50-several hundred miles for computer to reset. Engine light never went off. Truck did the same two more times! Taken back to dealer june 5th. Then told evap leak.. Engine light still on after this time as well. Told to do the same thing. Keep driving it until the computer resets!!! Was driving at 55 mph and light started flashing and front end shaking so i pulled over. Sputtered and cuts off. So again it has been taken to the dealer and has been there since about july 19th to date!! Have been told fuel pump was cracked, ordered and on back order. And misfirings on fuel injectors #7 and a random one. Warranty covered nothing. What if it cut off in an intersection?!! First time drained some water from fuel tank. Now saying possible sugar in it. However.. Neither would damage a fuel pump! I believe this dealership is lying and tampering. I had to pay for the first time around $900! I have had no vehicle during these times. This is a very dangerous and life threatening situation. |
