The accident that happened in October wasn't reported because it was a single vehicle accident and the pavement was wet. I figured it was my fault and not the brakes. At the second accident, the pavement was dry and the collision was was a result of the brakes failing. I can only conclude that brakes during the first time were a compelling factor to the accident. I went to the dealership to complain about problems I had been experienceing with the brakes before both accidents. They only told me that there was nothing wrong with the truck. ( dot number: tire size: 235 ).
