What owners wrote
Started my truck today and within a minute of driving it out my driveway I smelled something burning and saw smoke. The electrical wiring harness under the front drivers seat was on fire. Had to put the fire out with a bottle of water. Calling my local ram dealership in the morning to have it towed there.
