NHTSA Complaint #10395348 — 2009 DODGE RAM 3500

I HAVE A 2009 DODGE RAM 3500. I WAS RIDING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL THE GAUGES STARTED GOING CRAZY THEN SUDDENLY I SMELL SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BURNING BY THIS POINT NOTHING IS WORKING IM JUST COASTING TO A STOP. THERE WAS NO SMOKE FROM THE DASH THAT WAS MY FIRST INSTINCT I THEN OPEN THE HOOD AND SMOKE IS ROLLING OUT OF THE FUSE BOX. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS THE SAME TRUCK BUT A YEAR OLDER AND THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON HIS VEHICLE TWO DIFFERENT TIMES I THEN DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT ON COPART WHICH IS A SALVAGE AUCTION AND THERE ARE A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF THE DODGE TRUCKS WITH THE 6.7 LITER CUMMINS MOTOR IN THEM THAT THE FUSE BOX IS JUST BURNT UP OR IN SOME CASES HAS CAUSED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO BURN. I AM JUST WONDERING WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO ATTENTION AND IS MY TRUCK GONNA BURN DOWN. AND WHY WILL DODGE NOT COVER A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCTS. *TR
