Description of the problem	On 8/19/2009, i was traveling east on rt 360 in chesterfield co, va in my 2001 dodge 1500 pickup truck. As i approached the light at turner rd, i apply the brakes but the truck was not stopping as normal. I struck the nissan in front of me in the rear. Damage done to both vehicles but thankfully there were no injuries. It was later determined that the steel brake line that runs along the inside of the frame rail had burst causing the rear brakes to fail. The insurance company responded to the repair shop and inspected the old brake line. It appears from several dodge forums that this is a common problem with some model years but dodge refuses to address the issue. I believe this to be a very serious issue as the next victim may not be as lucky as i.
