NHTSA Complaint #11118235 — 2016 RAM 2500

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT 35 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST MY BRAKES. I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR AND ENDED UP ON THE SIDEWALK. I THEN PUSHED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE IN TO STOP. I RAN INTO A STREET SIGN AND THE FRONT PASSENGER QUARTER PANEL, LIGHT AND MIRROR WERE DAMAGED. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET A TOW TO MY OFFICE I REALIZED THAT WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS THE SHOCK HAD BROKEN OFF THE AXLE AND SEVERED THE BRAKE LINE. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THAT THIS SHOCK HAS COME OF THE AXLE AND DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NOW MY LIFE WAS PUT IN DANGER ALONG WITH THAT OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THANK GOD A PEDESTRIAN WASN'T ON THE SIDEWALK OR THEY WOULD BE DEAD.
