Consumer Description

I HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS. I WILL START WITH THE SERIOUS ONE FIRST. WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE RAM TRUCK DOWN THE INTERSTATE, IT SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. I HAD NO POWER STEERING. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TRYING TO STEER OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. ONCE OVER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND IT STARTED UP, LIKE NOTHING HAPPEN. THIS HAPPEN TWICE WITHIN 2YEARS. I SEE THAT THE SAME COMPLAINT WAS FILED BY ANOTHER DODGE OWNER(#10270010). IM TAKING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE SECOND COMPLAINT IS THE REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT LOCKS UP AND WILL NOT RELEASE. I SEE THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS. COMPLAINT #'S 10248480, AND 10237215. THESE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST SHOULD PUT ON A RECALL LIST. *TR
