Consumer Description

IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX MY TRUCK WOULD TRY TO START, BUT DO NOTHING BUT CRANK. I THOUGHT MY FUEL PUMP WAS OUT SO I REPLACED IT. THE TRUCK WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING. I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES I WOULD HEAR THE FUEL PUMP COME ON AND SOMETIMES NOT SO $260 DOLLARS LATER I STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND ACTUAL TESTS I FOUND OUT THAT A RELAY ON THE TIPM IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT IS AA $5 DOLLAR RELAY ON A $1200 DOLLAR PART THAT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRENTY AND CANNOT BE EASILY REPLACED. DODGE IS CURRENTLY UNDER SUIT FOR THE FAULTY TIPM'S.
