Pulled out into traffic and the gas pedal did not propel the truck and I was almost hit broadside. It's like the gas pedal took 3-4 seconds to send fuel to the engine and caused the truck to just roll instead of propelling it down the road

  • 1,592 miles
Our Dodge Ram 6.7 2500 2018, case, harvest editor caught on fire within a week of purchase, while driving down the freeway towing. At time of purchase it had 555 miles on it, and we'd only driven it 3 time prior to this. We were driving below the speed limit. The truck starting loosing power, we saw a little smoke in the rear view mirror. As we slowed the smoke increased. Upon lifting the hood, transmission fluid was squatting out across the engine poring on the ground, flames were moving along the back of the fire wall. We put the fire out ourselves prior to the fire department arriving. Our insurance investigator said it was a warranty issues, defective transmission line. He also said there was no evidence to support anything that we could have or might have done. Chrysler's investigations revealed that it was also a warranty issue.
