Fuel Pump Recall Delay

I drive my dads F-150 when I get desperate to go somewhere. I'm a college student on winter break so it's not like I'm busting at the seams to be anywhere right now. Everything where I live is shut down anyway.

 

Nobody else in the whole US doesn't have a spare kit the can next day to your dealership?? It's been said on here that some dealership are stocking these to accommodate walk-in customers WOW just WOW

 

Going to try to get it on Monday Morning.

 

My dealership is cheeks. I was sitting in there talking to the service manager and another Service Associate turned away another Tacoma driver because they can't get the parts for the recall. Happened right beside me. At least he wont be in the same situation I am in.

 

OK I see. I'm glad your not in dire straights. As the other person earlier posted, most people wouldn't be able to go with transportation for that long but your not most people. You will be though when you graduate. I wish you well. Keep us posted on you outcome

 

So unless they've actually ran out of parts for this recall, your supposed to give your VIN, they order the part, and when it comes in they call you and make an appointment for the repair. Mine took a week from VIN reporting to the call back for the appointment.

 

Exactly ... That would be like going to the doctor and having them tell you .. 'You're sick ... But we're not gonna tell you exactly what's wrong with you..' WTF, really??? That's absolute bullshit and I wouldn't put up with that for about 2 seconds.
If the dealer broke something outside of the scope of THE actual fuel pump .. Hey... Shit happens. Been there a few times myself.. But at least own-up to it and tell you exactly what's wrong.
I'd have a lot more respect for the service manager that came out and said 'Hey .. We fucked up ... While taking apart 'XXXXX', we broke 'XXXXXX' and it'll take a bit to get a new 'XXXXX' and we own it ... So sorry..'
But this whole 'Next Tuesday .. Oop, no make that next Friday .. Oop, no make that next week .. Maybe... Oop ... We'll let you know when ..' thing is absolutely unacceptable.
OP ... I'd go in there and make a stink. If nothing else but to find out 'OK.. WTF is the problem exactly??'

 

I'd lose my mind and call the district service manager.

 

Yeah it's complete BS and my dealer does not want to take responsibility or even make any effort to speed things along. It's basically "we get to it when we get to it" at this point.

 

Tried that, hasn't made any difference. He said he'd investigate and get back with me but that was over a week ago.

 

I just got the notice. I guess I get to join the club

 

My dealer emailed me a couple weeks ago asking if I wanted to schedule a time to get the pump replaced. I said sure so she ordered the parts. They had them within a week and I had it replaced Wednesday no sweat.

TLDR: My dealer could beat up your dealer and she's a chick.

 

My notice said they would notify me when a solution was available

 

"Solution" must mean parts. I wonder who their pump supplier is, Walbro?

 

Stop making me jealous

 

I just paid her off and got the recall letter faster than the title. The recall letter states "I will get another letter in the mail when a remedy is available". What the f**k does that mean?

 

I means the maker of the full pump really F'ed up us and everyone esle that uses them and when we have replaced the older f'ed pumps will will let you know it's your turn. As the control voice says, "Please Stand By"

 

My dealer scheduled me the for the next morning. Recall and two other services were done in 5 hours. I even got a full tank of gas

 

Was taking a break from the dealer since it took them a week to replace my clutch master. Sudden loss of power really has me concerned. Wish I could just put a walbro in there, they used to past forever.

 

Finally got logged back into my account so I'm going to give my final (long awaited) update to my problem.

I ended up not getting my truck back until sometime in mid-January. The dealership had kept it for well over a month. They still never told me what part they "broke" but thankfully when I got it back as far as I could tell there was nothing wrong with it, and there was not a scratch on it. Since then I've made a ton of modifications to my truck and have done all the work myself. I will never let a dealership work on my vehicles again.
