Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND'S DODGE RAM 1500 HAS HAD 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS REPLACED. THE LAST PUMP WAS REPLACED IN LESS THAN 39 DAYS. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK WE HAVE HAD 4 DIFFERENT EPISODES OF THE POWER STEERING GPOES OUT. WHEN THE POWER STEERING DOES GO OUT THERE IS A HARD JERK TO THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS PAST TIME MY FAMILY AND I WAS PULLING A 27 FOOT CAMPER BEHIND US WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT. WE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE STRUTS ON THE TRUCK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO KEEP HAVING THESE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. I WILL NO LONGER LET MY SON RIDE WITH HIS FATHER BECAUSE OF THE PARENTAL OF THE STEERING GOING OUT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.
