Electrical System Problems of Dodge Ram 5500

Contacted by Chrysler on or about 12/1/2014, concerning recall, p65. This recall effects the diesel fuel heater assembly, which as notified by Chrysler could cause a engine compartment fire. As of an inquiry on 2/18/2015, they still have no estimated time frame for making parts and repairs available. Our first inquiry on 12-19-2014, yielded the same results. I contacted our local Dodge dealer 2/18/2015, who stated "there are no parts available for the recall".

On March 2, 2014 while sitting in our 2012 Dodge 5500 4 x 4 the low fuel light came on and we opened hood and tipm was smoking again. We just got the truck back from the dealer from the first tipm fire 4 days before. I jumped out of the truck and disconnected the batteries and fled from harms way.

The contact owned a 2011 Dodge Ram 5500. The contact stated that the vehicle caught on fire under the front of the vehicle near the engine compartment. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire. The vehicle was destroyed. It was unknown if a police and a fire report were filed. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 14v635000 (engine and engine cooling, fuel system, diesel) and 13v527000 (steering); however, the recall notices were received after the vehicle was destroyed due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Check engine light went on. The truck is still under warranty so we took it in to go arapahoe Dodge. They were unable to fix the problem. We are not sure if something is wrong w/ the engine because Dodge can not get the check engine light to turn off. The warranty we currently possess is only applicable until we reach 100000 miles. We think Dodge should be able to fix the problem under the warranty.

My lights started to fail then all of a sudden my trucks electrical all went out while going down the highway and would not start back up with no power I had to struggle to get the truck stopped the fuse box caught fire nothing else was damaged. The dealership ways it is the bed manufactures fault. This bed manufacture cm in madil ok services all trucks not just Dodge and has not had this issue on any but Dodge the fuse box over loads and shorts out. I have to spend 1300 dollars in repairs not to mention a week of no pay as my truck makes me money.
