Consumer Description
THE POWER CABLE GOING TO THE IN-TANK FUEL PUMP BURNT UP, MELTING THE PUMP HOUSING AND MELTING THE INSULATION ON THE WIRES IN THE TANK. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT NEW FIRMWARE WILL FIX THE ISSUE TO REDUCE HOW MUCH CURRENT THE PUMP DRAWS, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY ON THIS ITEM. THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH WIRES GETTING HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE INSULATION IN THE FUEL TANK! HOW COULD THIS NOT HAVE BEEN A RECALL?
