What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 (na) dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 64 MPH during inclement weather, the rear of the vehicle swayed from left to right. As a result, the vehicle hydroplaned and rolled multiple times without warning. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained a neck and back injury that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed, but the body was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
I was driving in snow and slippery conditions and as I started to accelerate I could feel that the snow was having an effect on my trucks traction and with that the traction control light illuminated on my dashboard to inform me that one of my drive wheels must be loosing traction. After moving along at highway speeds on dry salt treated pavement the ABS, brake, esp,and bas, light all came on and have not gone off since.
