Hello fellas, I’m new to the forum. If anyone here can give me answers I would appreciate it.
About 1month ago both battery’s in my 2015 ram tradesman 2500 went dead. Lights came on. It just happened out of the blue. I called dodge and picked up 2 new battery’s put them in and the truck was running as normal up until 2 days ago. The only thing was a sulfer smell not that strong but I was gonna take it in as I was still under warranty . 50k miles
I went to pick up my daughter from school dropped her off at home. Than 5 min later drove the truck to am/pm about a mile away. When I arrived home I parked the truck in my driveway and went inside
Than the nightmare began.
I was in my office about 5 minutes later with my kids and I herd a weird sound outside I looked out the window and at first I thought I was seeing things. There were flames I saw coming from the left rear passenger side wheel well. Not sure if that where the fire started. By the time I ran outside 10 sec with the fire extinguisher the truck was burning so hot there was no putting it out
I just had to call 911 and get my kids to safety. I’m trying to understand what could have caused the truck to go up like it did and so quick. By the time the fire dept got here it was so bad. The fire popped the brakes and it rolled down the driveway hit the fire truck and caught it on fire. It was like a movie seemed unreal.
Does anyone have any insite on what could have caused something like this or herd of any issues with that truck. Or who and how to contact dodge ?
Any help would be appreciated
