The roads were slick and I was traveling slow came over the crest of a small hill over bypass and headed down hill braking slowly I could tell it felt like I wasn't slowing down like I expected as I approached a vehicle ahead of me stopped at the traffic light, so I pumped the brakes twice and the engine roared and my truck raced forward and crashed into the vehicle ahead of me. The other driver was very angry and wouldn't believe me when I tried to explain what happened. He would not exchange information with me. My foot did not slip. I can't even get my truck to surge forward like that if I hit the gas hard

I took my truck to eastgate Chrysler at 500 North shadeland ave. 46219 ph.# 317-352-7192 to have my airbag recall repaired and a wheel alignment, there wasn't anything wrong with my truck when I took it into them, on my way home I notice that the airbag light was flickering when I turned corner sometimes and 2 days later it stayed on and the cruise control quite working and the horn wouldn't blow and and that area where you blow the horn was very hard, I made and appointment to take it in to see what the problem was and they told me I must have done something to damage it because it was fine when I left and the clock-spring was bad and the repair would cost $480, I told them, I'm not paying for there mistake, service manger refused to fix it so I called Dodge customer service about 5-time and they couldn't get them to fixit either.
