What owners wrote
No indicators of any issues to this - while driving between 65 and 75 MPH the truck begins to smoke not only out of the back end of the truck but underneath the body as well as under the hood of the truck, and we began to smell fuel. The cel light then comes on. We had the whole family in the truck and a small fire extinguisher. This is really nerving since dodge/chrysler as well as cummins knowing this line is a problem and has not done a darn thing about it to rectify any compensation.
Upon entering the freeway and just getting up to freeway speed, the right (driver-side) rear tire separated from the tread causing the vehicle swerve violently. Driver was able to recover and stay on the road. Extensive damage to wheel well, right rear quarter panel, bumper, taillight, and tailgate. No other vehicles involved.
