| Description of the problem | Our 2004 dodge ram 2500 spontaneously caught on fire last night while parked in the driveway. We had not driven it for two days, the keys were not in the ignition, no one was near it... It just went up in flames. My husband could not put the fire out so we called 911 and the fire department finally got the fire put out. The truck is totaled, just a charred metal frame at this point. Had the vehicle been parked in the garage, we would be dead. |
