Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 97V084000. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. EACH TIME THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE, BUT NO FIRE. TWICE THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND ONCE IT STAYED TOGETHER, BUT WAS LEAKING BADLY. CHRYSLER CORP. SAYS THIS TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS DOES THE DEALER WHERE IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. TWICE THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP WHERE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY. ANY INFORMATION I COULD GET WOULD HELP. *AK
