Description of the problem	I have a 2004, dodge 1500 slt ram, hemi sport, with 5422 miles on it, and on feb 21, 2005, i watched as my truck burned to the ground ( literally ), i smelled something like plastic or burnt wire while driving, just prior to discovering my ( now ) parked truck, smoldering in my back yard. I went to investigate the smoldering, and open the truck door after not seeing any flame; however, once i opened the door it was as if someone had lite a flame thrower, and pointed it in my direction. The fire consumed the vehicle so rapidly, i am sure i would not have had time to remove a infant from it's car seat, had my son been in the truck. I allowed daimler chrysler to send an engineer named bob whipple out here to my home. He took just a few pictures, jerked on a few wires, then returned to where ever he came from. He promised me a copy of his report; however, when i contacted daimler chrysler, they blew me off with a " hey! It's not our fault", letter, i tried calling them and they stated that they had no other information for me, even though their vehicle obviously failed electrically, and was under full warranty.
