Consumer Description

STARTED NOTICING TRUCK HARD TO START, THEN IT DIES AT IDLE, IN TRAFFIC ETC, IT HAPPENS ABOUT ANYWHERE FROM 4 TIMES A DAY TO 4 TIMES A WEEK JUST DEPENDS, TOLD THAT THE TRUCK TRANSFER PUMP IS A DEALER ITEM ONLY AT ABOUT 400.00 OVER THE COAST OF INTERNET PRICING FOR THE KIT, WOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL? I HAVE SEARCHED AN FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM , BUT SINCE DODGE DISCONTINUED THE EXTERIOR TRANSFER PUMP THEN IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE A RECALL I HAD MY TRUCK DIE ON MY 2 TIMES TODAY IN TRAFFIC MOVING 70 MILES AN HOUR WITH KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT AND AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME , THE TRUCK HAS NO OTHER PROBLEMS BUT I DON'T THINK DODGE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO CHANGE THE DESIGN WITH OUT HAVING A RECALL. *TR
