NHTSA Complaint #10259526 — 2007 DODGE RAM 2500

THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN AN ACCIDENT BUT I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL SAYING THAT THE DASH SILENCER PAD IN MY TRUCK MAY SAG AND CONTACT THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLER, AND THAT IT MAY CAUSE THE SILENCER PAD TO LOCALLY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE AN UNDER HOOD FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER MORE PARTS AND THAT THEY COULD HAVE IT BUY THE MIDDLE FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. IT IS NOW SATURDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND NOW I AM TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS ONLY ALLOWING 5 SUPPORT BRACKETS A WEEK AND THAT THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO INSTALL FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS. NOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN UNDER HOOD FIRE. I WORK CONSTRUCTION AND HAVE TO TRAVEL FOR WORK, I HAVE A 34 FOOT 5TH WHEEL THAT I, MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN LIVE IN SO WE CAN BE WHERE EVER THE JOB REQUIRES. SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS OCCURS AND ME AND MY FAMILY ARE PULLING THE 5TH WHEEL DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT WARNING MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT CATCHES FIRE, WITH PLENTY OF AIR BLOWING IN TO FUEL A FIRE SURROUNDED BY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES? HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REPLACE THE LIFE OF MYSELF, MY WIFE, MY 4 YEAR OLD SON OR MY 9 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER? *TR
