The verizon vehicle had an underhood fire that originated in the ABS module area. The ABS module and wiring connector along with the truck battery and other under hood components were burnt. Verizon has had similar fires in other vans and feels that this is an unsafe condition that warrants further investigation.

Ram Van 2500

The power control module and body control modules blew out twice within the first 4000 miles of the trucks life the leaky intake manifold was detected after several complaints of a tapping noise in engine that was worse when accelerating. Still not fixed vehicle still has real bad tapping in engine. Truck died while driving down the road, left me stranded. Diagnosis was that the fuel pump module went out. Electrical problems with the vehicle also shorted out the cassette player. I have also heard strange buzzing noises in the cab while driving. Took back to dealer and they said they could not find anything wrong. Vehicle is still not running properly.
