Consumer Description
MY TRUCK FUEL LIGHT CAME ON TRUCK SPUTTERED AND DIED IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. LUCKILY I WAS IN A GOOD SPOT TO PULL OVER AND STOP. I LIFTED THE HOOD AND COULD SMELL WIRES BURNING. I LIFTED THE FUSE BOX LID AND SEEN THE FUSES SMOKING SO I PULLED ONE FUSE THAT WAS THE STARTER SOLENOID FUSE.I WAS ON HIGHWAY WITH LOTS OF ROCK CUTS AND HILLS. TURNS OUT TO BE THE TIPM. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY .DEALERSHIP REPLACES IT FOR APP. 1400.00 AND IT STILL NEVER FIXED PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTICS . HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO END UP COSTING. I HAVE NO FUEL GAUGE, FRONT WINDOWS DON'T WORK , WIPERS WORK WHEN AND HOW THEY WANT, AIR CONDITIONING TURNS ON BY ITSELF, TEMPERATURE GAUGE SAYS ITS 56 DEGREES CELSIUS OUTSIDE. DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT THIS ONE. I THINK THIS COULD HAVE ENDED UP WORSE BUT I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY ON A TRUCK PULL OFF AT THE BOTTOM. I HAVE BOUGHT 5 NEW DODGE TRUCKS OVER THE YEARS AND HAD PLANNED TO BUY MORE TILL NOW. I HOPE I CAN GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK. TRADE IT IN REAL SOON.
