Consumer Description

2004 DODGE RAM 1500 - POWER STEERING HOSES, CLAMPS AND PIPING: I NOTICED THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND WHEN I CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL, THE PUMP WAS DRY. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVELED A LARGE PUDDLE OF POWER STEERING FLUID ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. FORTUNATELY I WASN'T DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE LEAK CAME FROM THE AREA WHERE THE HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE LINES CONNECT TO THE STEERING RACK. INQUIRES ON THE WEB LED ME TO THIS SITE, AND PROVED THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ON A VEHICLE THIS SIZE, ESPECIALLY IF TOWING A LARGE LOAD, COULD BE, AND PROBABLY WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. DODGE SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THE INCIDENTS PERTAINING TO THIS, AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE REPAIR BEFORE SOMEONE IS NOT ABLE TO WRITE A COMPLAINT LIKE THIS.. *TR
