Consumer Description

I HAVE THE ECODIESEL. THEY ARE PRONE TO CATCHING ON FIRE, EVEN WHEN PARKED. I EMAILED RAM AND ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO PARK MY TRUCK IN A GARAGE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE. THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME THAT IT IS SAFE, TOLD ME TO USE MY OWN JUDGEMENT. THE FAILURE RATE FOR THESE ENGINES IS RIDICULOUSLY HIGH. ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?
