Consumer Description

STARTED OFF BY HAVING A TOUGH SPOT ONCE IN A WHILE TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL. NOW ITS TOTAL FAILURE ON AND OFF. NOT CONSISTENT, I CAN BE GOING 20 ,PH AND IT WORKS GOOD, THEN MY STEERING JUST FAILS. AT 60 MPH IT WORKS GREAT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FAILS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE ALMOST LOST CONTROL 3 TIMES. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO EVEN START TO LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. MADE TRAVELING OVER THE HOLIDAYS VERY DANGEROUS. IHAVE READ WHERE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER 2018 RAM REBEL TRUCKS AS WELL AS OVER 1500 2019 RAM TRUCKS AS WELL.
