Consumer Description

MY TRUCK WOULD LOSE POWER AT TIMES THEN WOULD NOT START. DEALER ADVISED THE FUSE TO THE FUEL RELAY PUMP WAS BURNED AND NEEDED TO BE BYPASSED TO A LARGER FUSE BECAUSE THE FUSE INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURE IS TOO SMALL. THIS REPAIR COST ME $411. DEALER ADVISED THIS WAS A DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURE AND WAS COMMON IN THE 2012 YEAR MODEL. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND LOCATED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT VEHICLES LOSING POWER ON THE HIGHWAYS AND ALMOST INVOLVED IN COLLISIONS DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND ACCIDENTS THAT CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEFECT WHICH CAUSES FUEL DISRUPTION.
