Consumer Description

With 20k miles the High-Pressure Fuel Pump blowup in middle of the freeway in NY. This part name is CP4. My truck subtlety stops in freeway in very dangerous situation. My luck is I had a State Patrol few cars back and he help me to safety the area and wait the tow. My truck stays 2 months parked on at Dealer to fix. The reason is they don’t have a new CP4 to replace is because all 2020 diesel Ram trucks had the same problem. 5 months later my CP4 blowup again with 49k miles now my CP4 and my Tank Fuel Pump breakdown in same time. More 2 months to fix.by the way my truck don’t had 9 months old and stay parked on dealer for 4 months. I paid 4 months of car payments and insurance for not use the truck. Other point is my braking pads. I replaced my front braking pads and rotors with 29k miles. This is unbelievable all my trucks I replaced this part between 70k and 90k. I paid $900 and I believe that my truck had something wrong with braking system also. Like I explained before. In both situations my CP4 subtlety blowups and stop my truck in middle of freeway. Truck engine shutoff and in 65 mph freeway this is very dangerous. God save my life in both situations because all the tomes someone come to help me. First time was State Patrol the second time is Highway Patrol in CA. Yes the problem happened 2 times and my truck in lees the 1 year stay parked on dealer for 6 months. With breakdowns in CP4, EGR, ECM, Tank Fuel Pump, Turbo Actuator and a lot leaks and gaskets breakdowns. My truck has now 1 year and 2 months old and stay on dealer for next two weeks to replace the Turbo Actuator. Just take a look on google and you guys gonna see a lot complaints. A lot! I don’t know. They replaced the component but stills breakdown. Every 3 months my truck stays on dealer for 2 months for fix. Last time I pickup my truck at dealer and next day it breakdown again with a different part problem. Actually my trucks stays with check engine lights on for 8 months.
