Consumer Description

60 MILES FROM HOME AFTER A 2,000 MILE CAMPING TRIP THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STOPPED. TRAVELING NORTH ON HIGHWAY191 IN YELLOWSTONE PARK THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH AND THE TRUCK DIED. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE NARROW ROAD. EMERGENCY FLASHERS DIDN'T WORK AND THERE WAS NO CELLPHONE SERVICE, SNOW WAS FALLING AND TRUCKS BARELY ABLE TO GET AROUND US, WE FEARED FOR OUR LIVES. I OPENED UP THE HOOD AND SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC, THE TIPM WAS MELTED IN SPOTS. FINALLY A KIND MOTORIST STOPPED TO SEE IF WE NEEDED HELP, 20 MILES FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD HE WAS ABLE TO CALL A TOWING SERVICE WHICH TOOK ANOTHER SEVERAL HOURS TO GET TO US. WE WERE TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN BOZEMAN WHERE IT WILL BE ANOTHER2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN GET IT IN.
