As I was driving down the highway, my vehicle suddenly took off full throttle causing a loss of control. Luckily I was able to shut the vehicle down before any damage could be done to my engine or other vehicles, and I had the vehicle towed home. Dodge has a recall (#605), for the exact symptoms I was experiencing, though my injection pump does not fall under the date code. I took my injection pump into the dealership and they said they could not do anything about it. I then took apart the injection pump and found that the fulcrum lever, the same piece that caused the recall for recall #605, had indeed broken sending tiny bits of metal throughout my injection pump causing the runaway. I feel that dodge IS responsible to compensate me for the parts that were broken, and should also extend the recall to all cummins diesel engines equipped with the ve pump. *tr
