Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1995 dodge ram 1500 burnt up-totaled-2 years ago. dealer did not, would not, do the recall in 3 years of access. not finding any reference from chrysler or you, i suggest having talked to a mechanic 2 days ago, there are still many trucks burning up, with or without the recall, therefore there needs a new campaign, but also check into the toxicity of the situation. it is melting and burning pvc's and other plastics, very toxic and cancer causing. i am fighting terminal cancer also, proven to be linked to the dioxins, heavy metals,and vinyl chlorides found in melting and incinerating pvc's. while it might not be considered your function, the proper agency needs to be informed since these are controlled substances when incinerated or burned, and per the toxic substance control act and the sara laws and the 'public's right to know', chrysler should have informed of the dangers and risk factors associated with the melting and incinerating of the pvc's and other plastics when using the blower on high, and/or the steering wheel column or the wiring in the dash is overheating grossly. *nm
