NHTSA Complaint #10116196 — 2004 DODGE RAM 1500

I HAVE A 2004, DODGE 1500 SLT RAM, HEMI SPORT, WITH 5422 MILES ON IT, AND ON FEB 21, 2005, I WATCHED AS MY TRUCK BURNED TO THE GROUND ( LITERALLY ), I SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE PLASTIC OR BURNT WIRE WHILE DRIVING, JUST PRIOR TO DISCOVERING MY ( NOW ) PARKED TRUCK, SMOLDERING IN MY BACK YARD. I WENT TO INVESTIGATE THE SMOLDERING, AND OPEN THE TRUCK DOOR AFTER NOT SEEING ANY FLAME; HOWEVER, ONCE I OPENED THE DOOR IT WAS AS IF SOMEONE HAD LITE A FLAME THROWER, AND POINTED IT IN MY DIRECTION. THE FIRE CONSUMED THE VEHICLE SO RAPIDLY, I AM SURE I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TIME TO REMOVE A INFANT FROM IT'S CAR SEAT, HAD MY SON BEEN IN THE TRUCK. I ALLOWED DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO SEND AN ENGINEER NAMED BOB WHIPPLE OUT HERE TO MY HOME. HE TOOK JUST A FEW PICTURES, JERKED ON A FEW WIRES, THEN RETURNED TO WHERE EVER HE CAME FROM. HE PROMISED ME A COPY OF HIS REPORT; HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER, THEY BLEW ME OFF WITH A " HEY! IT'S NOT OUR FAULT", LETTER, I TRIED CALLING THEM AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NO OTHER INFORMATION FOR ME, EVEN THOUGH THEIR VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY FAILED ELECTRICALLY, AND WAS UNDER FULL WARRANTY.
