Fuel pump problem

disappointed , 11/17/2020

2020 Ram 3500 Lone Star 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)

We have owned this truck for three months. It has about 2500 miles. The fuel pump came apart, mechanic's words. The truck left use on the side of the road with a load of cows. It is now in the shop awaiting repair. 5hey have to replace the entire fuel system, but cannot obtain all of the parts. Its been in the shop for weeks. Needless to say we are not happy, its a brand new truck!

I hate Chrysler customer service. I hate the whole company. I'm switching all my trucks over to semi. I don't even want trade this one in. I'll have it crushed then use it a paper weight.

2021 Ram 3500 Tradesman 2dr Regular Cab 4WD LB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)

I purchased a new 3500 work truck with the Cummins diesel. 15,700 miles in and an injector goes out. OK not a huge deal its under warrantee. Well of course the part is back ordered and not sure when it will arrive. Around 45 days later they get the part and "fix the truck". I drove 2 blocks and the exact same code and engine light is back on. I had just gotten in the Freeway so I exited …
