What owners wrote
My 1995 dodge ram 1500 burnt up-totaled-2 years ago. Dealer did not, would not, do the recall in 3 years of access. Not finding any reference from chrysler or you, I suggest having talked to a mechanic 2 days ago, there are still many trucks burning up, with or without the recall, therefore there needs a new campaign, but also check into the toxicity of the situation. It is melting and burning pvc's and other plastics, very toxic and cancer causing.
On 3/09/05 we bought a 1995 dodge ram 1500 pickup from lee dodge in farmingdale, ny. On 7/01/05 the vehicle began to have smoke come out of the steering column and then proceeded to ignite into flames. The entire truck was engulfed in minutes and this truck was totalled. After this incident we found out that there was a recall back in the year 2000 for ignition wires that were overheating!
