Filed Sep 9, 2017 · Electrical, Transmission · 167,000 miles · DC · fire

Vehicle shut off while driving causing loss of steering and braking. It gave code for bank 2 knock sensor and oil viscosity wrong. It would not start. Noticed smell from under passenger side. Found insulated harnessing in passenger side had caught fire possible due to short to chassis. Wiring was all in oem state, found no standoffs present to keep harness off chassis on horizontal run, standiffs are present in vertical run by oil filter. Replaced section of harness and documented with pictures. This is a hazard to all dodge owners, flame in very close proximity to oil filter. I have documented all with photos and request compensation for my work to repair.

I'm not starting from the complete beginning I'm starting from when it place the worst took to dodge cuz I had dying problems stalling out if I was driving to and from work mind you I drive 600 miles at a time one direction way home one night vehicle stalls out pulled to side of the interstate the vehicle starts back get down the road and it just stutters a little so I keep going get done with a little further they completely dies while I'm going through north carolina to tennessee the gorge as they call it no place on the side of the road semi beside me semi behind me no pull off to the left either hit a pot hole truck dies luckily in running about 90 mile an hour put the truck in neutral crank it no crank no start crank it again it starts popping in gear scared as hell get to the nearest gas station in worries that something else is going to happen to the truck trying to make to safe place I finally make it home truck did that couple more times on the way and stall out. I took it to dodge and they said it was the tipm well have them fix it got the truck back no fix there they did get two codes for the tipm problem on that day ended up being the ignition coils all of them had to be replaced prior to all this I had already been having stalling problem not dying chrysler dealer in greensboro north carolina look at my truck fan diagnostic said it was low amperage or something like that can't remember you can get ahold of him if you would like so they said replace the alternator and the battery so I did then the story I just stated took place. Now again location greensboro north carolina going across intersection rear end goes out the only reason the truck even moved anymore is because it's 4-wheel drive I drove it almost 5000 miles like that before I could afford a new rear end to put in here. I could keep going but the problems of this year model. Multiple dates

The truck wouldn't start. There was plenty of power from the battery for the lights, bells and horn but the truck wouldn't make a single sound. By pulling an ignition fuse to see if blown I accidentally reset a control module in the steering column. This worked for a while but eventually that trick no longer worked and I had to call the free roadside assistance I got by buying the truck.
