Description of the problem	I own a 2003 dodge ram 1500 laramie 4x2 with 17000 miles. I purchased it from my local dodge dealer with 2300 miles on it. Around 15000 miles, my vehicle engine light turned on, and a strong burning odor began to come from the cab. I thought the error was serious, and immediately scheduled an appointment with an appropriate five star dodge dealer herb gordon dodge in silver spring, md. Kevin with the orange team, at herb gordon, verified that one issue with this vehicle is the powertrain control module. Unfortunately, the burning smell cannot be identified at this time. As the vehicle is under warranty, the pcm is currently being replaced. While herb gordon has done an excellent job providing me with service, dodge has scarred me and encumbered my time. I have had to rent while my vehicle is in the shop, my truck smells really bad inside (due to the burning pcm,) and i really do not trust the safety of my vehicle. Why would a pcm go bad after 17000 miles? Is the burning smell going to cause a fire in the future? Am i at risk in this vehicle?*ak
