Consumer Description
Electronic power steering failure, trucks were recalled in 2015 through 2016. However, my trucks EPS part number is not on the recall list. I tried bringing it to Dodge and they wanted over $3000 to repair. Dodge also told me they could not guarantee me. This would fix the power steering, turn off the power steering light in the dash, and no guarantees could be made that replacing the steering column for $3800 would repair the problem! There have been over 2 million recalls on these vehicles for a failure of EPS! Total loss of control of steering, without the assist, it is almost impossible to turn the wheel of the truck, and failure while driving would surely kill the driver and everyone around them! The fact Dodge wasn’t forced to recall these vehicles is absolutely horrifying! The fact, the highway safety control does not force dodge to recall all of these vehicles is completely unacceptable! If my truck is not fixed, I will be filing a class action suit against everyone involved! $50,000 for a truck with no power steering and electric issues, and the highway safety control does nothing to hold Dodge accountable! Please call me at [XXX] if there’s any questions! If I don’t get a response, I will be reaching out to an attorney!
