WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ALL OF THE GAUGES QUIT WORKING. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULLOVER THE HORN STARTED TO BLOW AND THE LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF AND ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULLOVER BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN OFF. A SHORT TIME LATER MY WIFE SMELLED ELECTRICAL SMOKE. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE FUSE BOX WAS ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE AND THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO MUSIC CITY DODGE IN MURFREESBORO TN. AFTER TWO MONTHS VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, EXPLANATION BY DEALER WAS BATTERY CABLE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY.

TRUCK HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 8 TIMES PARTS REPLACED AND PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. TRUCK HAS ALSO BEEN ALTERED FROM ORIGINAL SPECS . I FEEL VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. *AK

BRAKE SHOES HAD 65% OF THE PADS REMAINING HOWEVER THE RIVETS HOLDING THE PADS ONTO THE BRAKE SHOES CAME LOOSE ON 3 OF THE FOUR BRAKES.THE SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME THAT HE FELT THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE BRAKES HOWEVER I STILL HAD TO PAY THE ENTIRE BILL.THE AUTO MATIC TRANSMISSION HAS LEAKED FLUID AFTER 5 DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT BY THE DEALER.STILL LEAKS

DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE MIRRORS SHAKE/VIBRATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE APPROACHING TRAFFIC.EVENTUALLY THIS WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT. I RETURNED THE VECHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRRIOR REPLACED BUT THIS REPLACEMENT SUFFERED FROM THE SAME SHAKING PROBLEMS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.I TOLD THE SERVICE REP. BUT HE SAID THEY ALL ( DODGE PICKUPS 1500-2500 SERIES) SUFFER FROM THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR A TSB ON THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND WITH THE SAME TRUCK AND THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK
