Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)As I was driving, the truck stopped running and then under the engine compartment it started on fire and fully engulfed the engine compartment in front half of the truck
The engine had a life threatening malfunction. Currently, there are arrangements being made to move the truck to my insurance company's property. I'm sure my insurance company would allow and arrange a site visit to inspect the truck. It happened so fast and without warning, we were blessed that we were able to escape the truck without losing our lives or getting severely burned. Anyone who helped or passed by was put at risk due to the fire or possible explosion that could have accrued from the truck fuel tank or trailer propane bottles. The fire inspector and insurance company have conducted there preliminary inspections and are in the process of writing up their reports. There was no warning lamp, message or symptom of a engine problem or failure prior to the engine bursting into flames, but the only warning that accrued after the engine caught fire, was the engine was being shut off.
Upon starting the vehicle the engine made a rattling noise.I turned it off and restarted it and the noise continued. Turned it off again and the noise stopped. Brought it the dealer with a video/recording on my wifes phone so they could hear the noise. The truck was there over a week with the service writer saying they could not duplicate it. The truck was there a few more days before the service writer told me they received a service bulletin instructing them to up the pressure on the oil pump. They did that and told me the truck was fixed.I went out yesterday and the noise has returned, again my wife recorded the noise. Bringing it back again to the dealer. We are afraid to use this truck as we dont want to have an engine failure. This has also been to the dealer for brake squealing and the instrument cluster going totally blank, again being told it cant be duplicated. this truck has 3400 miles on it.
