What owners wrote

On the date of 11/11/2022 the vehicle experienced an electrical fire in the engine compartment. This happened after the vehicle completed a heater grid cycle before starting remotely. All signs of the fire from photographs clearly show the fire starting from the ground bolt location of the heater grid. This seems to be a common issue when researching forums among other owners of the same vehicle with the same engine options.

November 2022 Fire

This vehicle was bought less than a month ago. The first week 3 tires sensors are out and not working, then yesterday, oct. 20, 2020 the engine light came on and won't go out. We called the dealer and were told that it wasn't any problem to keep driving the truck. They told us the soonest they could see it was this friday, oct. 23, 2020 and they do not have any loaners. So here I am stuck at home afraid to drive the ram truck costing more than $70,000 because I might ruin the engine.
