Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 35MPH PAVED BUSY ROAD, THE RACK AND PINION UNDER MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 FAILS, LEAVING ME WITH A LOSS OF STEERING AND ALMOST CATCHING THE TRUCK ON FIRE FROM SO MUCH FLUID GETTING ALL OVER A HOT ENGINE BAY. NOW AFTER A MONTH AND A HALF I HAVE PAID FOR 4 MORE RACK AND PINION FAILURES AND NOW MY TRUCK IS STILL SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY BROKEN WAITING FOR THE 6TH ONE. EVERYTIME IT IS A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING AND THERE ARE NO WARNINGS. *TR
