Consumer Description

THE STEERING IN THE 2ND GENERATION RAMS IS SUBPAR. THEY ROAD WALK, AND GET SO FAR OUT OF ALIGNMENT THEY CAN NOT BE PROPERLY ALIGNED. THIS IS SHOWN AS DODGE WENT FROM ONE STEERING DESIGN (A BETTER ONE) TO ANOTHER IN 2000 YEAR TRUCKS. IN 2003 THEY TRIED TO IMPROVE ON THE SYSTEM BUT IT WAS NOT ANY GOOD. NOW THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE 2009/10 STEERING COMPONENTS ON THE 2003-2008 TRUCKS LEAVING THE 2000-2002 TRUCKS TO SUFFER FROM A HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND UNRELIABLE STEERING SETUP. THE TRUCKS ROAD WALK ALL OVER THE ROAD, THE STEERING CONSTANTLY SHIFTS AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS NEVER TRULY IN THE CORRECT POSITION. DODGE NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A REDESIGNED STEERING REPLACEMENT FOR THESE TRUCKS AND STOP LEAVING IT UP TO THE OWNER TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE! *TR
