Consumer Description

HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/RAM_1500/2002/STEERING/RACK_AND_PINION_FAILURE.SHTML CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY DEFECT LOST STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER LCC IS NOT STANDING BEHIND. PLEASE GO TO THE WEBSITE ABOVE AND SEE ALL THE COMMON COMPLAINTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY DODGE OR BY PRESSURE OF THE NHTSA TO HAVE DODGE REIMBURSE AND RECALL THIS COMMON PROBLEM. IF CHRYSLER IS GOING TO ASK FOR A BAILOUT THEN THEY NEED TO USE SOME OF OUR MONEY TO MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AND NHTSA NEEDS TO PRESSURE THEM TO GET THIS SAFETY, POOR ENGINEERING PROBLEM FIXED! I FILED WITH BBB OF AUBURN HILLS, MI. THEY ONLY LOOK AT WARRANTY ISSUES. VEHICLES SHOULD NOT HAVE THEIR POWER STEERING AND RACK AND PINION GOING OUT AT 36K MILES! CHEVY, FORD, NISSAN, TOYOTA DOESN'T! LOOK AT THE WEBSITE COMPLAINTS AND DO YOUR JOB NHTSA...I AM FORWARDING THIS ONTO THE US ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. MAYBE WITH A NEW VISION AND NEW PRESIDENT WE CAN START FIXING THESE PROBLEMS AND START HELPING THE PEOPLE WHO HELP FUND ALL THESE GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL..IF I SOUND '!@#$% YES I AM...I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $800 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT AND I HAVE TWO 2004 RAM 1500S AND BOTH HAVE THIS PROBLEM? NOT A COINCIDENCE...JACK BLAIR . *TR
