Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN MICHIGAN, IT SUDDENLY BEGAN LOSING POWER. AFTER FREQUENTLY STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE TRUCK STOPPED COMPLETELY. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED THE CAUSE, THEY FOUND SPECKS OF PAINT IN THE DIESEL FUEL. WHEN THE FACTORY INSTALLED GAS TANK WAS DROPPED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE COATING INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WAS FLAKING OFF AND HAD PLUGGED THE FUEL FILTERS, CONTAMINATED THE FUEL AS WELL AS DAMAGING 3 INVERTERS.. WHEN INVESTIGATING IF OTHERS HAVE SAME COMPLAINT, WE FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT PULLING OUR RV.
