Ram 3500

  • 19,000 miles
The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Ram 3500. While driving 60 mph, the contact was informed by other motorists that his vehicle was on fire. He then noticed flames in the cabin and the bed, in addition to the fuel tank. He pulled over and called the fire department. The highway patrol also arrived at the scene. The vehicle left a trail of fire on the highway due to the fuel leak. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard. The insurance company was notified and stated that there was a shortage between the fuel pump and the fuel tank. The dealer wanted to investigate; however, they will not inform the contact or the insurance company what caused the fire. The passenger sustained minor burns to his hands, arms, and hair. A police report was filed. The failure and current mileages were 19,000.
