Description of the problem | Circa npoon 5/6/16 intersection of pomona st and orangethorpe , fullerton, ca my 2015 ram 350 w/3009 miles failed to stop while 25 ft behind a late model camray, at less than 1 mph the abs failed tota;lly. My ram plowed into the camray which was stopped while attempting a left turn on to ortangethorpe. The 87 year old driver in the camray was bumped 15 ft and sufford a dented left bumper, fender and tail light. My wife was in the passenger seat of the ram as a witness and a fullerton police officer witnessed the accident, he failed to make a report to the best of my knowledge.. I had no option but to hit the camray, as if, i swerved to the left i would have hit oncoming traffic and if i swerved right i might have killed pedestrians in the cross walk! . I had no choice, but use the camray to stop since the ram abs system failed totally. I refused to drive the ram 3500 with out brakes, so i paid aaa to tow the ram back to the dealer mcpeek's dodge in anaheim, ca |
