Tl*the contact owns a 1999 dodge ram 2500. While decelerating to approximately 10 MPH, the contact depressed the brake pedal and it extended to the floor. The brake failure LED her to cause a three vehicle crash. The contact was injured and a police report was filed. She noticed that brake fluid was leaking after the crash occurred. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop and they stated that the brake lines failed. The VIN, engine size, and number of cylinders were unknown.
From the first 6000 miles-3 intake manifold gaskets, new tires, blow out & damaged truck, brakes ,calipers and rotors bad,transmission not right, steering not right two rear axle seals blown, new engine at 63,000. It is now blown (we believe, the computer system & torque converter should have been replaced for the start). We have all our paperwork dealership does not!!!!!!!! Warranty company does. We maintained this truck extremely well!!!!! We bought a total piece of junk.
