Consumer Description

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE. OVER A PERIOD OF 2-3 WEEKS POWER STEERING HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE INOPERABLE AND REQUIRES VERY MUCH EFFORT TO STEER. DEALER SUGGESTION IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE RACK & PINION MODULE AT HIGH COST - EST $2200. REPAIR MUST BE DONE TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECENT (16 DEC 2019) VB8 CHRYSLER RECALL FOR 2019 RAM 1500 TRUCKS.
