What owners wrote
While towing a fifthwheel trailer I noticed smoke in the cabin and stopped the truck. Upon opening the hood I found a fire at the firewall on the right side behind the engine. Failing to be able to extinguish the flames I separated the truck and trailer and pushed the truck away from the trailer and dialed 911. The truck was a total lose and after contacting dodge I was told that my truck had already had the recall performed (08v641000) and that they had never had any further problems with these vehicles.
Truck died in middle of road, truck would not start .son towed truck out of road to parking lot. Truck, started again ran 3 days. Pulled out of parking lot , the truck accelerated out of controlled hit brakes a few times and truck died again in middle of road. Started again , truck moved 10 feet and died . Tipm (totally integrated power module ) has failed. Unexpected acceleration scared me considerably. Less experienced driver or my wife would have got scared and crashed.
