Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My son was driving the 2003 dodge ram 1500 on the 405 freeway at approx.70mph when the right rear axle broke. my son lost control of the vehicle and it spun against the traffic. he gained control, veered against the right outside sidewall of the freeway with his front right tire and while dragging the right back tire, came to a screeching halt. the right back tire was dragged flat on the freeway for 400 feet before coming to a stop. he was only lucky not to be seriously hurt or dead.
