Description of the problem	My truck fuel light came on truck sputtered and died in about 30 seconds. Luckily i was in a good spot to pull over and stop. I lifted the hood and could smell wires burning. I lifted the fuse box lid and seen the fuses smoking so i pulled one fuse that was the starter solenoid fuse. I was on highway with lots of rock cuts and hills. Turns out to be the tipm. This product should be recalled immediately . Dealership replaces it for app. 1400. 00 and it still never fixed problem. They say it is under warranty and now have to pay for another diagnostics . How much is this going to end up costing. I have no fuel gauge, front windows don't work , wipers work when and how they want, air conditioning turns on by itself, temperature gauge says its 56 degrees celsius outside. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out this one. I think this could have ended up worse but i was driving down a hill and was able to get off the highway on a truck pull off at the bottom. I have bought 5 new dodge trucks over the years and had planned to buy more till now. I hope i can get the problem resolved without breaking the bank. Trade it in real soon.
