That sounds like the shock was bad. I had one go bad and it would do the same thing just slowing down for a stop sign. I've towed these thousands of miles and had no problem when all the parts were in working order.
If you ever noticed that it did bind, I bet some grease on the "slide area" would remedy the issue. I've never had any issues other than the shock in the housing going out.
