Consumer Description

I JUST HEARD THE NEWS ON THE DODGE RAM BUYBACK SO I DECIDED TO CHECK MINE FOR OPEN RECALLS AND NONE WERE SHOWN. MY INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TURNING INTO A GAS STATION AND AS I WAS TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP WHICH CAUSED ME TO RUN INTO TWO CONCRETE POLLS. OVER SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE OCCURRED. I LOVE DODGE RAMS! I'VE OWNED SEVEN SINCE 2004. JUST WANTED TO REPORT JUST IN CASE THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.
