What owners wrote
ABS light came on. Air conditioner went off and on. Went to stop at an intersection , and heard a pop, and brakes went to the floor. Finally stopped with emergency brake. A man came running saying get out that it was on fire. Called the fire dept. This is a new truck with 8,000 miles on it. We are waiting for a rep from chrysler to investigate. They would not even put us in a rental until they got to it. We could have been killed or killed someone else.
On a 2004 dodge truck when you hook up a trailer you may not have brake or turn signals on trailer but truck works fine due to a intergraded fuse box assy yes there are fuses that show good but the fuse box internal will short out dodge has several problems and some fires .
