Consumer Description

FEBRUARY OF 2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 RAM 1500 3.6LITER 4X4 TO WORK. WHEN COMING DOWN AN ON RAMP MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN BACK TO THE RIGHT. I HAD TO MUSCLE THE STEERING TO TRY AND TURN RIGHT BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE STEERING SUDDENLY TURNED RIGHT SHARPLY SENDING MY VEHICLE HARD RIGHT INTO THE DITCH. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MAINTANCE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. I WAS ACCELERATING WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENED AND LET OFF ONCE THE TRUCK REFUSED TO RESPOND. THE FACT THAT LATER MODELS ARE BEING ADDRESSED AND YET 2014 OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE ISSUE AS WELL IS PURE NEGLECT.
