While my truck was parked and running (auto-started: FACTORY auto start), truck spontaneously burst into flames and burnt down before fire dept could get to it and put it out. TOTAL LOSS. Of note: fire dept was about 100yds away and responded as soon as we saw flames.

THE WATER PUMP ON MY 2015 DODGE RAM 2500 FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT CAUSING THE SERPENTINE BELT TO SLIP OFF THE PULLEYS AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND FOR SOME REASON POWER BRAKES. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF NEGOTIATING A RIGHT HAND TURN CAUSING ME TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY AND TRAVEL UP AN EMBANKMENT AND ROLL ONTO THE PASSENGERS SIDE. THE ROAD IT HAPPENED ON WAS A BACK COUNTRY ROAD AND MY VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE INVOLVED, THANKFULLY.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story.
