THE BRAKES ON OUR 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 FAILED ON 2/5/2016. AS I WAS IN MOTION HEADED STRAIGHT WHEN THE TRUCK'S BRAKES FAILED AND I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET ABOUT 20-30 MPH WHEN I LOST THE USE OF THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK KEPT TRAVELING FORWARD ABOUT 50 YARDS AFTER I HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE AND I WASN'T SURE HOW I WAS GOING TO STOP THE MOVING TRUCK WHEN I REMEMBERED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER THAT IN THE CENTER TURN LANE AND I REMAINED THERE UNTIL THE POLICE ARRIVED. WHEN THE OFFICER ARRIVED I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE BRAKES ON THE TRUCK FAILED EVEN AFTER I HAD BEEN RUNNING ERRANDS AND PICKED UP LUNCH JUST MINUTES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS MADE AND I TOOK PICTURES OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND INTERNAL BRAKE COMPONENTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES WERE SHOWN TO THE RESPONDING POLICE OFFICER AND THE PERSON IN THE OTHER VEHICLE I HAD HIT. I ALSO REPORTED THE FAULTY BRAKES TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. I CAN PROVIDE A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT ONCE IT'S AVAILABLE IN 24-48 BUSINESS HOURS. I BELIEVE THE 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK WAS BUILT WITH AN IMPROPERLY FORMED OR FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER INPUT ROD RETAINING CLIP WHICH CAUSED IMPROPER SERVICE BRAKES AND/OR HYDRAULICS.
