NHTSA Complaint #11378528 — 2016 RAM 1500

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING SINCE FEBRUARY 2020. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER TO REPORT THIS I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THE RECALL STATES THE VEHICLES ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD IS CAUSING A SHORT WHICH IS RESULTING IN A LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST DUE TO THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE SAME YEAR OF THE VEHICLES BEING RECALLED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TO GET IT DIAGNOSED SINCE MY POWER STEERING LIGHT IS ON AND THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO NOT WORK AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE POWERING STEERING RACK THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED PLUS THE CIRCUIT BOARD. THEY TOLD ME THIS IS THE EXACT RECALL THAT IS OUT THERE NOW AND MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE ALREADY CALLED DODGE CORPORATE AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED (#77899413). NOW THE DEALERS DON'T WANT TO WANT TO ACCEPT THE VEHICLE TO DIAGNOSE IT BECAUSE "THIS IS GOING TO BE DUMPED IN THEIR LAPS" THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT A SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKE CARE OF ASAP. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN I AM DRIVING AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE WHICH CLEARLY SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I AM HOPING TO HEAR BACK FROM SOMEONE ASAP AS I HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SAFETY SINCE FEBRUARY WAITING FOR AN OFFICIAL RECALL NOTICE. IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF IN A TIMELY MANNER I WILL BE FORCED TO INCLUDE MY ATTORNEY AND MAKE THIS A LEGAL ISSUE ON TOP OF A SAFETY ISSUE.
