What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2012 dodge durango. While driving approximately 30 MPH during inclement weather, the vehicle slid on ice, into an embankment, went airborne, and crashed into a tree. The brakes were applied with force, but failed to stop the vehicle. None of the air bags deployed. The driver sustained a fractured back in two places and a ruptured left breast implant, which required medical treatment. A police report was filed.
Started my truck and when I went to put it into drive upon applying the brake the pedal was hard and when I applied pressure there was a "hissing" "air noise". I thought that maybe it was just really cold out and it needed to warm up a bit more, so I pumped the brakes and it seemed better. Definitely didn't think that a truck I have had less than 3 years would have any brake issues.
