Consumer Description

MY 2003 DODGE RAM HAS RACK AND PINION PROBLEMS (LEAKS AND STIFFNESS). I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THE TRUCK WILL BE UNDRIVEABLE IF THE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM EXPERIENCES A MAJOR FLUID LEAKAGE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE COMMON FOR THESE VEHICLES. THE DESIGN OF THIS SYSTEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. A MAJOR ACCIDENT IS ON THE HORIZON FOR THIS POOR DESIGN. LET'S BE PROACTIVE ON THIS ONE. THEY STILL HAVE BAILOUT MONEY. *TR
