Ram 1500 4WD 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 800 miles
I am an automotive engineer that specializes in automotive fire analysis. I received this case file. The vehicle is a 2007 Dodge mega cab 4X4 diesel unit. The vehicle was brand new with less than 1,000 miles. The owner took it to a friend's house, parked it in driveway. Several minutes later a neighbor noticed smoke coming from the vehicle. It eventually erupted into flames that caught part of the house on fire. I have traced the failure to a defect from within the power distribution module and battery positive feed for the same.
