Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO IN AUGUST, THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY 35 MPH ROAD JUST PASSED A DANGEROUS SCHOOL ZONE AND I HAVE A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING. TURNS OUT MY POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION HAS FAILED. NOW IN 12 MONTH I HAVE REPLACED THE PART 4 MORE TIMES AND IT IS STILL BROKEN LEAVING ME EVERYTIME WITH A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING. THE TRUCK NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I PAY FOR IT EVERY MONTH BECAUSE DODGE WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT CANT BE FIXED. *TR
