I had to have my fuel pump replaced at only 53,000 miles. then not even a week later my check engine light is on. i took it to the same dodge dealership countryside motors in lawrenceburg, ky 40342. after replacing my fuel pump, now i needed a new down stream oxygen sensor replaced. was it the sensor the whole time? with only 53,000 miles on my car i find this hard to believe i needed both!!! |
