Consumer Description

AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF OUR NEW 2019 RAM TRUCK I BEGAN TO DRIVE HOME. AS SOON AS I CAME INTO A LEFT HAND TURN THE STEERING STUCK IN THE 10 OR 11 O'CLOCK POSITION WHEN TRYING TO RETURN TO CENTER. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO ONCOMING VEHICLES. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SAID THE STEERING WAS FIXED. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE SECOND TIME THE STEERING WAS STILL DEFECTIVE. VERY DANGEROUS. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY HOME FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE THREAT OF OVERCOMPENSATION IS A MAJOR CONCERN ALSO.
