I am an automotive engineer that specializes in automotive fire analysis. I received this case file. The vehicle is a 2007 Dodge mega cab 4x4 diesel unit. The vehicle was brand new with less than 1,000 miles. The owner took it to a friend's house, parked it in driveway. Several minutes later a neighbor noticed smoke coming from the vehicle. It eventually erupted into flames that caught part of the house on fire. I have traced the failure to a defect from within the power distribution module and battery positive feed for the same.

I own a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 4x4. In September of 2003, the check engine light came on and it was determined to be the condenser fan inoperable due to open fuse. The service mgr told me that this was a common defect because of the design of the shroud that allows water to collect in the trough. It also freezes in the winter preventing the fan from turning. This is not covered by warranty. I believe it should be because it is design defect. This is quite costly to have this fixed. According to the service representative, there have been several cases of this.

40amp ignition run fuse keeps blowing dissabling our 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 truck. Fuse has blown over 6 times now. Contacted Dodge customer service to find out about recalls, service bullitins or their tecnical help on this problem. They told us to go to an authorized dealer/repair shop to have it checked. We went to sunflower Dodge in olathe,KS. There service advisor bobby kielman informed us they could not duplicate the problem and advised us not to have them research the problem further because of the high shop charges it would incur and they would probably not find the cause anyway. I feel this is a safety issue that Dodge is dropping the ball on taking care of. It is my concern that the fuse will blow while my wife is driving causing her to become stranded. Or worse, a fire occuring because of the overheating of faulty wiring & components. Sunflower Dodge did inform us of recalls for similar problems on Dodge ram trucks like ours for years 1996 and earlier.
