RAM BOX PLASTIC LIDS SEEM TO BE RELEASING FIBERGLASS LIKE FIBERS INTO SKIN DEVELOPING A RASH WHEN TOUCHED OR RUBBED. WHEN LEANING ON THE LID WITH FOREARMS, THE SKIN EXPERIENCES SEVERE ITCHING, A RASH AND DISCOMFORT JUST LIKE HAVING FIBERGLASS SLIVERS IN YOUR SKIN AS HAPPENS WHEN HANDLING FIBERGLASS INSULATION MATERIAL. IT TAKES SEVERAL DAYS FOR THE ITCHING OF SCRUBBING WITH SOAP AND WATER FOR THE ITCHING TO SUBSIDE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY CHILDREN. SINCE IDENTIFYING THE SOURCE OF THE ITCHING, I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS OF 2009 DODGE RAM TRUCKS WITH THE RAM BOX. I ALSO FOUND UNCONFIRMED INFORMATION THAT DODGE MAY HAVE CHANGED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE RAM BOX LIDS FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR MODEL. HAVING CALLED THE DODGE DEALER AND THE NATIONAL DODGE WARRANTY OFFICE, THEY INDICATED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE RAM BOX LIDS AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF AN ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK HAS METAL TABS TO LOCK FUEL PUMP IN POSITION. WATER CAN COLLECT WITH ROAD SALTS TO EAT AWAY THE LOCKING TABS WHICH ALLOWS THE FUEL TO LEAK OUT NEXT TO HOT EXHAUST WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRE. WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK THE FUEL WILL SEEP OUT BECAUSE THE LOCKING TABS NO LONGER HOLD THE PUMP IN PLACE. THIS LEAKED FUEL CAN CAUSE FIRE, AND ALLOW FUEL TO POOL UNDER THE VEHICLE CAUSING FUEL SPILLS.
