2008 DODGE RAM 2500 Service Brakes Problems

THE BRACKET THAT HOLD THE BREAK LINE TO THE REAR END (AXLE) HAD RUBBED THE METAL BREAK LINE UNTIL IT WORE THROUGH THE LINE AND THEN SPLIT CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK OUT (FAST). I NOTICED MY BREAK PEDDLE START GOING TO THE FLOOR, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I PUSHED THE BREAK PEDDLE TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE THERE WAS A SPEED ZONE AHEAD, THE BREAK PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. THAT'S WHEN THE E BREAK WARNING LIGHT CAME ON NOTIFYING ME THAT MY BREAK FLUID WAS LOW OR EMPTY. I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT DOWN TO SLOW DOWN, EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL TRYING TO USE MY BRAKES THE PEDDLE WOULD TO THE FLOOR, STOPPING WAS 90% GONE, I HAD TO USE MY E BRAKE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE THAT'S WHEN I LOOKED UNDERNEATH...

THREE WEEKS AGO TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO CROWN CHRYSLER DODGE IN CLEVELAND TN FOR BRAKE AND ROTOR REPLACEMENT ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. AFTER REPAIRS MADE, DRUNK DRIVEN OFF LOT AND NOTED TO HAVE A LOUD SQUEAK EVERY TIME BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED. DEALER NOTIFIED AND TOLD US TO KEEP DRIVING FOR A WEEK AND PADS AND ROTOR SHOULD MESH TOGETHER AND SQUEAK WILL GO AWAY. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN, TRUCK TAKEN BACK TO DEALER, DEALER ERIN SPECTER AND STATED COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT GROOVE IN ROTOR CAUSED BY POSSIBLY A PEBBLE. DUE TO NOT FEELING TRUTH BEING TOLD BY THIS DEALER, TRUCK TAKEN TO DODGE DEALER IN ATHENS AND HAD BREAKS INSPECTED. TO OUR DISBELIEF, WE WERE TOLD BRAKE PADS WERE FLAKING AND CHIPPING. WE CONTACTED DODGE DEALER IN CLEVELAND TN FOR A REFUND FOR FAULTY PRODUCT BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION. DODGE COORPORATE CONTACTED AND COMPLAINT FILED....
