SATURDAY EVENING WE WERE EXISTING THE INTERSTATE WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL WHAT SEEMED LIKE A CHEMICAL SMELL. WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS SMELL WAS COMING FROM. AS WE PROCEEDED DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I STARTED TO GET WARM SO I TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEAT. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION, I COULD STILL SMELL THE SOMETHING OUT OF THE NORMAL. I BEGIN TO LOOK ALL AROUND. SMELLING MY JACKET TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS DIDN'T SPILL SOMETHING ON IT, OR JUST TRY TO FIND WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. FINALLY, I TURN AROUND AND REALIZE MY HEATED SEAT HAD CAUGHT FIRE. THANK GOD I HAD TURNED THE SEAT WARMER OFF MOMENTS EARLIER. LUCKY FOR ME, THE TRUCK DID NOT GO UP IN FLAMES. THE SEAT HAS A DEEP BURN HOLE AND MY JACKET (WHICH WAS BETWEEN THE SEAT AND MYSELF) HAS 2 BURNS IN IT. I WAS UNHARMED BUT IF IT WASN'T FOR ME TURNING THE SEAT OFF, I'M AFRAID OF WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. OUR TRUCK IS STILL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. HOWEVER, I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHO IS TO REPORT SUCH THINGS? THEY EXPRESSED THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE, BUT THEY DO NOT. WE HAVE AN OPEN CASE NOW THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITING FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.

I GOT INTO MY TRUCK TO LEAVE FROM WORK. WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE, THE "BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW" WARNING INSTANTLY CAME ON. JUST A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" WARNING CAME ON AS WELL. AT THIS TIME THE RADIO SHUT OFF. MY TRUCK THEN SAID: "BATTERY SAVER MODE" WAS ON, AND THE RADIO CAME BACK ON. THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY OFF/NOT WORKING, SO I WAS VERY GRATEFUL THAT I WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AND NOT DRIVING WHILE THIS HAPPENED AS IT COULD'VE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! I LIMPED ALONG SLOWLY WITH MY FLASHERS ON, TO AN AUTOZONE TO HAVE THEM CHECK MY BATTERY. THEY WERE VERY BUSY, SO EVEN THOUGH MY BATTERY WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, I SIMPLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW ONE TO SEE IF IT FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH BOTH THE BATTERY (WHICH SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM AT ALL) BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THANKFULLY, I HAD A NEARLY STRAIGHT SHOT TO GET HOME, BUT IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER THE TRUCK, AND I'M A BIG GUY, SO FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON, THEY WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I HAVE STARTED IT UP EVERY DAY SINCE THEN WHICH WAS 5 DAYS AGO, AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE...NEVER. AND I HAD ZERO PROBLEMS WITH IT, SO WHY WOULD IT JUST FAIL FOR NO APPARENT REASON? THERE MUST BE A RECALL FOR THIS; PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.

FUEL SENSOR FAIL OCCURS WHEN TANK GETS TO HALFWAY POINT; ONCE IT FAILS THE TANK APPEARS TO BE EMPTY AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ME, ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER DRIVERS EXPERIENCE THIS. MY VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES, THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AND THIS IS A DEFECTIVE UNIT. A FAILURE SUCH AS THIS CAN CAUSE HEADACHES TO DRIVERS BY GIVING THEM A FALSE SENSE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEING PRESENTED TO THEM ON THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL.

2014 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH IGNITION, LIGHTS AND TRANSMISSION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A HILL WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND CRASHED THROUGH A GATE. THE CONSUMER GRABBED THE WHEEL, FROM STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, DIRECTING THE VEHICLE TOWARDS AN EMBANKMENT, WHERE IT LANDED. THE VEHICLE DRAGGED THE CONSUMER ALONG THE WAY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON. THE CONSUMER STATED THE KEY FALLS OUT OF THE IGNITION, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RUN. THE MILEAGE WOULD NOT APPEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ADJUSTABLE. *JS
