Description of the problem | I have the 5. 7 liter engine. I was advised that the fuel pump relay and the wiring harness were the subject of a recall because it could cause the pump to shut down and the engine would stop running. On 11/17/2016 i took my car to chrysler dodge jeep ram in seattle for an oil change, and they replaced the fuel pump relay and integrated wiring harness. I had not previously had a problem with the engine shutting down. The fuel pump relay they installed in my car was defective, and failed completely about 22 months after it was installed. My car was parked and several times my attempts to start the car were frustrated. The engine would start, but ran very roughly for a second or two before stopping. Rairdons chrysler jeep in kirkland charged me $294. 28 to diagnose the problem, and advised that it was a defect in the fuel pump relay. On september 25, 2018, rairdons chrysler jeep in kirkland installed a replacement and charged me $282. 96, claiming that their information was that the replacement part was installed more than two years previously, and i had to pay for the part and installation because it was only warranted for 2 years. Rairdon's is incorrect, the replacement was installed less than 2 years before failing. This seems unfair and improper. The replacement should be subject to the same conditions and terms and safety standards as the car and parts are. I think the diagnosis and replacing the part should not be chargeable to me because the part is subject to a safety recall |
