problem #4

Jun 202006

Dakota 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles
Around 60,000 miles I was left stranded after the fuel pump failed. The repair cost over 700 dollars plus the cost of the tow. At 90,000 mile the fuel pump failed again. This time the truck quit in the middle of a major intersection up traffic and putting my life at risk. This time the repair cost $777 dollars plus the cost of the tow. I don't feel that a fuel pump should fail so often. Especially a such great cost for repair.
