CUMMINS 6.7l DIESEL LEGAL AID, finally.
DODGE BUYBACKS available
Over the past 2 years complaints have tripled concerning the Dodge Cummins 6.7 Diesel EGR and DPF filters. The complaints range from constant check engine lights to lousy fuel economy and poor overall performance. The factory and the dealers have yet to fix a single truck.
I have kept an ongoing list of individuals interested in a class action lawsuit. FINALLY, I had an answer from an attorney with several WINS in class-action suits against Chrysler, among other auto manufacturers.
The sad part is he operates in California, however, he indicates there is relief, if you hurry.
Here is what Atty. Mark Anderson said; “The number one concern is whether Chrysler LLC is going to file a Chapter 11 at some point, which would wipe out all pending cases. Number two problem is just how long such actions take. I and my colleagues have been successful in class actions against auto manufacturers, including one against Chrysler, Graham v DaimlerChrysler, which to the California Supreme Court. Graham took 8 years to resolve! I have others pending. Point is, those cases take forever. Some are not successful for procedural reasons. My opinion is that individual owners will do much better hiring me or some other lemon law attorney on an individual basis. As I indicated in my blog, Chrysler LLC will repurchase the Dodge trucks with the Cummins diesel. So if you have any California owners who want representation, I would much appreciate it if you were to direct them my way. All my fees are contingent. ”
IMHO, Attorney fees are alot cheaper than trading in a bad truck and losing 10’s of thousands on trade. SO if you haven’t removed the DPF, at a cost of approx $900.00, consider the legal route.

Attorney Mark Anderson is correct. Individual claims are the best bet in this situation.

Is there currently any lawsuits in Florida. We purchased a cummins diesel in 2008 and have had nothing but check engine light issues, stalling, and emissions problems. My truck is in again for the 9th time since June 2008.
Thanks
Christine

someone please contact me if you’re interested in pursuing this matter. I have a 6.7 and it’s lousy from every standpoint and I think Chrysler /Cummins should be responsible to make restitution to anyone stuck with one of these things.

No lemon law where I live. So for under $2000 all of this can be removed. Code free. No problems

I had my 2007 Dodge 3500 6.7L Cummins cab and chassis break down back in March. I was driving down the road and it just quit. It was like it ran out of fuel. I did not think it would be a fuel filter since I had put one on in February. I got it towed home and went to looking at it and found that the high pressure injector pump did not have fuel coming out of it but , I had good fuel pressure going to it. So I had it towed to the dealer thinking it would be covered under warranty (100,000 mile Cummins warranty, truck has 50,900). The dealer (Randall Noe in Terrell, Texas) told me I had contaminated fuel and it would cost me $18,000 to fix it. They also informed me that I could do an insurance claim. I made a claim with my insurance company. They went to the dealer and took a fuel sample and sent it off to be tested. The test came back good and they told me it was a mechanical problem not fuel related and Dodge should warranty it. I was then informed at the dealership that I should contact Chrysler. I did and they done an investigation, but the outcome was the same. So I have had it towed back to my house again. Where it still sits broke.
I received a phone call from a friend of mine while the truck was still at the dealer. He had asked me how everything was going I told him ” Well right now I am upset at Randall Noe and Chrysler.” He said “Let me guess you took your truck up there and it came down with contaminated fuel.” I said “Yes, how did you know?” He chuckled “Everyone that takes their truck there gets contaminated fuel.”
I also have a neighbor that has a 2008 6.7L Cummins. His emissions system clogged. We unbolted the DPF (diesel particulate filter) and it would run fine. He took it to Randall Noe. They told him they would warranty his emissions system but not until he fixed his contaminated fuel issue. Which is what Randall Noe said caused the emissions problem. Repair price on the fuel system was $16,000. He too done an insurance claim. His insurance paid (different company than mine).
My daughter this past week went to six flags with some friends. One of the boys was driving a new truck (Chevrolet, Randall Noe does not sell this make). My daughter asked him why he keeps changing trucks. He said every time he buys a truck from Randall Noe it always breaks with contaminated fuel.
Am I off my rocker for thinking this stealership is running a scam?????
