Description of the problem | Truck made a loud pinging noise, while driving on a county road, truck appeared to catch fire, cab filled up with black smoke with soot with a burning smell which caused the truck to shut down. Threw a code of low pressure fuel and engine light on. Had towed to nearest dealership, which could not pull up codes thrown. Changed fuel filter. Couple months later, while driving on a county road, truck threw code electronic ignition throttle control, could not get any pressure, smoking under hood and from behind. Appeared to have caught fire again but truck did not shut down as in 1st situation. Had towed to nearest dealership. Has been there now for 14 days. Having to replace egr cooler and intake manifold along with a lot of seals as i learned they are plastic and melted due to fire twice. Why would dodge make any intake especially on an eco diesel plastic? Sounds like asking for a fire according to the dealership. Also too... These parts being replaced and being covered under my extended warranty are also part of the "eco diesel settlement" settled on may 3rd, 3019 which my truck was towed on may 2, which in this settlement they awarded an extended warranty on the exact parts being replaced. I currently have no pics or documents as truck is still currently at dealership being worked on as i was told they have never seen this before and this is a very complicated task to repair. |
