NHTSA Complaint #714348 — 1998 DODGE RAM

THE TRUCK'S STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE TURNING AND THEN THE IGNITION WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE IGNITION HAS EVEN STOPPED WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND NOT TURNING. THIS IS A DEFINATE ROAD HAZARD AND CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WAS FINALLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG YET EACH TIME THEY HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND WE GET IT BACK IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME YOU TURN BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO DO IT. I DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURING ANYONE BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. WE ARE ALSO UNABLE TO FIND A PREVIOUS OWNER. THE NAMES ON THE TITLE HAVE BEEN CLEARED. HOW CAN THIS BE?? DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT WE CAN DO? HOW DO WE GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED? SOMEONE IS HIDING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING OURSELVES OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE YOU CAN HELP. SINCERELY, SHIRLEY GOODE
