60 MILES FROM HOME AFTER A 2,000 MILE CAMPING TRIP THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STOPPED. TRAVELING NORTH ON HIGHWAY191 IN YELLOWSTONE PARK THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH AND THE TRUCK DIED. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE NARROW ROAD. EMERGENCY FLASHERS DIDN'T WORK AND THERE WAS NO CELLPHONE SERVICE, SNOW WAS FALLING AND TRUCKS BARELY ABLE TO GET AROUND US, WE FEARED FOR OUR LIVES. I OPENED UP THE HOOD AND SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC, THE TIPM WAS MELTED IN SPOTS. FINALLY A KIND MOTORIST STOPPED TO SEE IF WE NEEDED HELP, 20 MILES FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD HE WAS ABLE TO CALL A TOWING SERVICE WHICH TOOK ANOTHER SEVERAL HOURS TO GET TO US. WE WERE TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN BOZEMAN WHERE IT WILL BE ANOTHER2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN GET IT IN.

TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLES ENGINE TO STALL AT 75MPH ON FREEWAY. CONDITION RESULTED IN A "NO-START" SCENARIO. BECAUSE OF THIS FAILED TIPM, THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER HAS NO POWER, RESULTING IN AN INABILITY TO DIAGNOSE WITH OBDII SCAN TOOLS. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A POSSIBLY FATAL ACCIDENT, AS THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT 75MPH ON A MAJOR FREEWAY WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE LOST. THESE PARTS ARE PRONE TO FAILING, BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. AN AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE AT THE PRICE OF APPROX. $600, BUT THESE PARTS ARE SPECIAL ORDER, AND TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO RECEIVE.

AS EXPECTED, COOLANT SPEWED OUT. I IMMEDIATELY CLOSED IT AND WAITED FOR IT TOBE TOWED INTO IDAHO FALLS TO BE CHECKED BY A SHOP THAT I WAS FAMILIAR WITH.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL PERFECTLY AND IN MOST CASES MAINTENANCE DONE BEFORE REQUIRED. ON THE DATE ABOVE I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. SINCE I WAS 2 HOURS FROM HOME I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THEIR REPAIR ORDER INDICATES THAT ALL 6 INJECTORS, THE DPF, CRANKCASE BREATHER FILTER, THERMOSTAT, OX SENSOR AND 2 TEMP SENSORS MUST BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT INCLUDING ALL FILTERS, AIR AND FUEL AND OIL CHANGED AND FILTER. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT ALL THIS WORK WILL COST ME $7500. THIS TRUCK HAS TOO LITTLE MILEAGE TO NEED ALL THIS WORK. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAST TRUCK I WOULD OWN FIGURING THE CUMMINS ENGINE'S REPUTATION. INTERESTED IN WHETHER THIS TRUCK IS AN ABERRATION OR IS IT SIMILAR TO TRUCKS WITH THE FIRST CLEAN BURNING ENGINE? *TR

WHILE TOWING A FIFTHWHEEL TRAILER I NOTICED SMOKE IN THE CABIN AND STOPPED THE TRUCK. UPON OPENING THE HOOD I FOUND A FIRE AT THE FIREWALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE BEHIND THE ENGINE. FAILING TO BE ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES I SEPARATED THE TRUCK AND TRAILER AND PUSHED THE TRUCK AWAY FROM THE TRAILER AND DIALED 911. THE TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSE AND AFTER CONTACTING DODGE I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK HAD ALREADY HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED (08V641000) AND THAT THEY HAD NEVER HAD ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. CLEARLY THE RECALL FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT THE VERY LEAST IN THIS CASE. CHRYSLER SENT AN INSPECTOR ([XXX]) OUT TO INVESTIGATE AND INSPECT THE TRUCK, HIS REPORT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO MATERIAL DEFECTS FOUND. I HAVE A COPY OF THAT REPORT IF YOU NEED. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT TAKEN BY MY SON WHO WAS WITH ME AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE IS STILL BEING HELD AT INSURANCE AUTO AUCTIONS 2299 W. BROADWAY, PHOENIX ARIZONA. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT TAKEN AS WELL AS A STATEMENT TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

DIESEL, 5.9 WHILE DRIVING AT 50MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING ALL TOGETHER. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE PICKUP ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY. I NOTICED THE SMELL OF DIESEL FUEL AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE WAS COVERED IN DIESEL. AFTER MY PICKUP WAS TOWED HOME I RESEARCHED THE SYMPTOM AND DISCOVERED I WASN'T ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE BOLT THAT HOLDS A CLAMP AROUND THE FUEL LINE TO THE NUMBER FOUR CYLINDER BACKS OUT ALLOWING MOVEMENT OR VIBRATION TO THIS FUEL LINE AND A LEAK DEVELOPS IN THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE AND DIESEL FUEL TO SPRAY INTO THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD FROM THE DIESEL FUEL THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IS VERY CONCERNING. I FOUND SEVERAL POSTS ON FORUMS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. THE PARTS GUY AT CUMMINS SAID HE HAS SOLD AS MANY AS 6-7 OF THESE FUEL LINES PER MONTH. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY FUEL LINES WERE SOLD AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS AROUND THE UNITES STATES. *TR

EMISSIONS, CO SENSOR & CARBON FILTER 2007 DODGE DIESEL 6.7 L, APPARENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OF THESE GO THROUGH THE DEALERSHIPS IN UTAH, FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THEN TAKE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED, FIRST TIME IT WAS A CO DETECTOR SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 2,000 MILES THE CARBON FILTER ON A DIESEL TRUCK. FIRST YEAR THAT THEY HAVE PUT THESE ON. IT CAUSES POOR FUEL ECONOMY. 11.5 MPG ON A DIESEL ENGINE THAT IS ENGINEERED TO BE FUEL EFFICIENT. THE REGENERATION SENSOR DID NOT KICK IT INTO REGENERATION TO BURN THE CARBON OFF THE FILTER THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT. COST $2200 FOR THE DEALERSHIP STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS WHAT THE EPA HAS MANDATED FOR DIESEL TRUCKS. SOME ONE HAD BETTER GET THIS RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS WASTING MORE FUEL AND CAUSING GREATER FAILURES ON THESE NEW DIESEL EXHAUST SYSTEMS. IF AFTER MARKET MANUFACTURES CAN PRODUCE EXHAUST SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE THAT GIVES 22 MPG. THEN THE COMPANIES THAT PRODUCE THE TRUCKS CAN ALSO. 11.9 TO 22MPG IS ALMOST 90% INCREASE IN FUEL ECONOMY. WHO IS RIPPING US OFF THE EPA OR THE CAR COMPANIES. *TR
