NHTSA Complaint #11564451 — 2013 RAM 1500

The steering wheel and exclamation warning lights came on and the truck was extremely hard to steer. It was a scary situation being 30 minutes from home when this happened. Luckily we didn’t get in an accident but very well could have. This happened June 30th 2023. We have since had it diagnosed by a local and trusted auto shop since the wait time the first time we inquired it being checked by the dealership was weeks and then the wait time for the dealership was a month. They confirmed that it’s the rack and pinion and eps module. Now we have to contact the dealership again to see about bringing it to them to be repaired if the part is even available no telling how long all of this will take not to mention the several thousands of dollars to be repaired. In my research this seems to be a well known problem and is being investigated. The truck in this condition is a danger to be on the road. And the current mileage on this truck is less than 20,000 miles.
