Consumer Description
THIS IS A DIESEL POWERED TRUCK. TWICE THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CREATED BY THE HYDROBOOST UNIT HAS BLOWN METAL HOSES APART RESULTING IN COMPLETE AND SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES. FORTUNATELY THE TRUCK WAS OPERATING AT VERY LOW SPEED. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH AND LIKELY DEATH. IN BOTH CASES, RAM REPLACED THE HOSE AND FLUID UNDER WARRAANTY, BUT HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE ROOT CAUSE, WHICH IS THAT THE HYDROBOOST UNIT IS DEFECTIVE.
