What owners wrote

Fuel injector pump stopped working and from all of information I found it seemed to me it should have been a recall. We had a accident in 2005 from the stalling of the pump, and was told by the body shop it was the cause of the wreck. We have spent money on sensors trying to repair to finally be told that the vp-44 code was the fuel injector pump, and will need to be replace and that certain companies have made a special part to repair this and could prevent this from happening. Why can't dodge repair?
