2015 Ram 1500 Brakes Problems

“Truck had sudden acceleration twice and it couldn't be stopped with the brakes either time. Once it totally lost power and was towed to the dealer. The sudden acceleration is very dangerous ' makes the truck move at a high speed suddenly and unable to be stopped with the brakes. We drove through two fences. We have pictures of the fences and the tracks the truck made in the snow.”
