Consumer Description

I am currently experiencing intermittent power steering failure, my 2014 Ram 1500 only has about 80k miles on the clock as I barely drive it. About 3 months ago I noticed heavy/slow steering, not totally failure, but more stiff than usual. About a month following that, I noticed intermittent steering loss, luckily I noticed the problem early and was able to respond accordingly. However, due to the steering being intermittent, it is unsafe to continue using the vehicle for the time being as there is no way to know when it will cut in and out meaning the vehicle can act unpredictably. Thankfully I have another vehicle to use, but looking at the repairs, it would probably cost me close to 2000 dollars and I would rather not pay for something that expensive unnecessarily.
