Description of the problem | The incident happened while i was driving home on i40 in amarillo texas. I was doing 75 mph and my truck lowered all the way to the entry exit setting on the air ride suspension. I had literally no suspension. As i was trying to slow down and trying to pull over i hit a bump in the road. My truck literally bounced like a low rider and my head hit the ceiling. I lost control when the front wheels hit the ground and almost crashed into the car next to me. I was finally able to come to a complete stop and my service air suspension immediately light came on. Now my air ride suspension will not raise up and cannot drive my car because it bounces uncontrollably. I was researching this problem and reading on dodge ram forums that this is very common for these trucks. This is very dangerous and a serious matter. It could have easily cost me or somebody else our life! This was very scary! Dodge needs to do something about this to make this right! |
