| Description of the problem | The truck lost power on the on-ramp to a freeway, two days later it died in the middle of the highway and i had to push it off the road. Took it into the shop and it indicated a lift-pump failure. When it was repaired (under warranty - i had to pay the deductible and the computer upgrade fee) the dealership put in what they told me was a "mandatory" retro-kit, moving the lift-pump from the firewall into the fuel tank. If they are making modifications when they repair under warranty shouldn't this be a recall? I noticed that it is a recall for fire-trucks, ambulances and etc... So it should be a recall for regular trucks too. |
