Consumer Description
Steering column whining noise problem for the last two years that dealership could not pinpoint, finally blossomed into an extremely dangerous random intermittent loss of power steering at any speed on a truck with only 73000 miles. As with many, many cases related to RAM trucks and their electronic power steering problems that have surfaced, my situation is the same as many who are finding that although a recall has been issued on certain vin numbers and serial numbers pertaining to the rack and pinion and electronic gear associated with some models, that my numbers are not on the list, therefore replacement costs are somewhere in the range of $2800-$3800. It seems unfathomable that the same wide-spread problem can exist with the same exact rack and pinion system on so many trucks, but Chrysler refuses to acknowledge all but a fraction of the vehicles that are currently on the road posing extremely potentially dangerous and fatal outcomes. Recall VB9 needs to be revised as an immediate no-cost replacement of all these faulty steering mechanisms.
