Consumer Description

TODAY AT 8:45 AM MY VEHICLE LOST ITS STEERING WHILE BACKING IN A PARKING LOT. THEN AGAIN WHILE ENTERING STATE ROUTE 12 IN CLAYTON, NY. THE STEERING RETURNED AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THEN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC THE STEERING AGAIN FAILED. I STOPPED AND PULLED VERY HARD AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY TURNED ONTO THE NEXT ROAD ON MY RIGHT. I DROVE FOR SEVERAL MILES WITH THE STEERING RETURNING OCCASIONALLY. DODGE RAM DEALER WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES AWAY AND SLOWLY ARRIVED AT DEALER. THEY ARE CHECKING IT NOW. THE VEHICLE IS A 2019 WITH SLIGHTLY OVER 9000 MILES. THIS EVENT WAS EXTREMELY VERY CLOSE TO SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
