I OWN A 1992 DODGE D-250 WITH A 5.9L CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE. I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 ONE DAY UNDER LOAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK TRIED TO TAKE OFF. THE INJECTION PUMP FAILED AND GAVE IT FULL THROTTLE. IT WAS SCARY AS HELL AND I AM LUCKY TRAFFIC WASN'T BAD AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL AVOIDING A CRASH. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT PUMP (RECALL #605). MY TRUCK HAS THE FAULTY PUMP.... IS STAMPED #169.... WAS NEVER REPLACED.... YET DODGE SAYS THERE WERE NEVER ANY RECALLS FOR MY TRUCK. NONE AT ALL. EVER. DO I HAVE THE BEST AND SAFEST VEHICLE EVER TO BE MANUFACTURED THAT IS NEVER NEEDED ANYTHING SERVICED, OR IS DODGE LYING AS THEY ARE ABOUT THE JEEP LIBERTY RECALLS... WHICH I ALSO OWN, BUT HAS BEEN FIXED. THIS RECALL #605 WAS A SAFETY RECALL AND SHOULD BE HONORED FOREVER. I WANT A SAFE INJECTION PUMP. BOTTOM LINE.
