Vehicle was hit hard on the front & left, totalling the truck. None of the air bags activated.
2026-02-24, Service Brakes
While operating my commercial truck , the trailer brake did not work and nearly caused a catastrophic accident. Upon inspection, trailer brake module has failed, power steering fluid leaking, Hydroboost leaking, I towed it to the dealership and they told me the truck is not safe to drive and the brake parts are back ordered and it may take more than 2 months or more for it to become available. They are unsure of when it would be resolved and that the truck is unsafe to drive. I opened a case with RAM and asked for a buyback review. CASE# 95785076
