What owners wrote
Fuel lift pump failure could cause a serious accident, loss of power will cause loss of brakes,power steering, and control. Thousands of failures have occurred, the failed part is on national back order due to the large number of system failures. Chrysler/dodge has not addressed this issue!!!
Lift pump failure: my fuel transfer pump died during acceleration. This caused the engine to shut down and also caused the power steering and brakes to shut down as a result. The vehicle became difficult to control almost causing an accident.
