What owners wrote
Our 2004 dodge ram 2500 spontaneously caught on fire last night while parked in the driveway. We had not driven it for two days, the keys were not in the ignition, no one was near it...it just went up in flames. My husband could not put the fire out so we called 911 and the fire department finally got the fire put out. The truck is totaled, just a charred metal frame at this point. Had the vehicle been parked in the garage, we would be dead.
10 minutes after start up I began to travel in drive gear of automatic transmission. Upon acceleration the pedal was dead, I.e. No power. The engine was running fine. After the truck decelerated to about 10 MPH the pedal was back and working. This happened again after about 20 seconds. This behavior continued for 30 minutes and stopped. It was colder that morning (10 degrees f). The pedal also had run away acceleration at times before the pedal went dead.
