Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 DODGE/CUMMINS DIESEL 2500 TRUCK WITH A #53 CUMMINS ENGINE BLOCK. THIS ENGINE BLOCK HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK AND IS LEAKING COOLANT. THIS ENGINE BLOCK HAS A KNOWN DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IN RESEARCH, IT WAS FOUND FROM SOURCES SUCH AS THE TURBO DIESEL REGISTER.COM AND A NATIONAL REPAIR COMPANY - LOCKNSTITCH.COM - THAT 1000S (THOUSANDS) OF THESE BLOCKS HAVE CRACKED IN THE SAME PLACE NECESSITATING REPAIRS COSTING OWNERS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THUS FAR. THE COST TO ME ALONE TO REPAIR THIS BLOCK WILL BE $3000.00 WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WILL NOT CRACK AGAIN! I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FILED HERE. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS OBVIOUS AND VERY COSTLY DEFECT??? *TR
