What owners wrote

Tipm...truck was mobile at night in rain when it died and coasted to the shoulder of the road...dense obnoxious smoke poured from under the hood and into cab where my grandchild were adversely affected by it causing serious breathing problems and coughing. Vehicle was towed to dealership where a demand of 1500 bucks up front to even look at this truck.. Eventually I had wrecker bring it from dealership home where is sits on ramps in the back yard. Nothing has been done by chrysler to address these problems.
