Consumer Description

NO INDICATORS OF ANY ISSUES TO THIS - WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65 AND 75 MPH THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SMOKE NOT ONLY OUT OF THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK BUT UNDERNEATH THE BODY AS WELL AS UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK, AND WE BEGAN TO SMELL FUEL. THE CEL LIGHT THEN COMES ON. WE HAD THE WHOLE FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AND A SMALL FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THIS IS REALLY NERVING SINCE DODGE/CHRYSLER AS WELL AS CUMMINS KNOWING THIS LINE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS NOT DONE A DARN THING ABOUT IT TO RECTIFY ANY COMPENSATION. I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I GUESS IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING REALLY HURT BUT YOUR ATTITUDE OF NOT WANTING RECALL SUCH A FIRE HAZARD! LOOK AT ALL THE FORUMS AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FUEL LINE! LINE TO 4TH INJECTOR NOW MAJOR REPAIR BECAUSE OF IT ALL THE FUEL LOST UNDER THE HOOD AND ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND FIREWALL!
