July 3rd: vacation trip, about 2 hours into driving, truck looses throttle, solid check engine light comes on, "service electronic throttle control" smoke coming from…

We where stopped at a red light the console display said to place the vehicle into park. The dashboard then lost power and smoke started to come out from under the hood it was a light gray at first but quickly changed to brown and the flames where coming out. I had just enough time to get out and get my 6yr old son out of his car seat and then call 911. Within a couple of minutes the engine was in flames.

We bought this pickup new from the chrysler dealer in san jose on capital expressway. The problem, which i believe can turn deadly, is that the fuel filler tube on the vehicle is dropping below the entry cap. It gets pushed further down everytime you fill it up. Sometimes you can not get the gas filler hose out of the tank. It once took three people to get it removed. I believe this to be a very dangerous situation.…

Vehicle check engine light came on, took to dealer who noticed black sludge in coolant. I was told it wouldn't be under warranty and someone had sabotaged truck. I told them it looked like oil in coolant and that's exactly what it was. Faulty oil cooler led to oil in every part that engine coolant encompasses. This leads to the truck overheating very quickly at times. Possibility of coolant in the engine black as…

These fumes are only coming in through the climate control system. When the windows are open we do not get fumes, there are no heavy fumes…
