Ram Van 3500

  • 16,611 miles
This vehicle belongs to verizon communications. The van had an under hood fire that originated in the ABS module area while parked. A neighbor noticed the fire and called the fire department. The van is declared a "total loss". the van that was parked next to it received major damage from the fire but was repaired. DaimlerChrysler issued safety recall D20 in 2004 to address this problem but the recall repair has not corrected the problem. Verizon has had 29 under hood fire incidents that occurred after the recall was performed. This is an unsafe condition that warrants further investigation and action.

problem #1

Ram Van 3500 4WD Diesel

  • miles
The truck is over charging, causing the truck to produce over 18 volts, and the dome and headlights to flicker on and off (particularly dangerous on a curvy road at night). Vehicle has been at dealership for three months. All attemps to correct issue with the assistance of DaimlerChrysler have failed. Many shops will not take these trucks because this problem seems unresovable. The vehicle is dangerous to drive and unsellable. Due to the increasing number of reported vehicles with a similar problem DaimlerChrysler has admitted there is a safety issue, but is taking no action to resolve it at this time.
