STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHICH CAUSED ME TO NEARLY RUN OFF THE ROAD DURING AN ATTEMPTED TURN. THE POWER STEERING HAS SINCE BEEN INTERMITTENTLY CUTTING IN AND OUT WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, ESPECIALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE HVAC DOES NOT PROPERLY SEAL CAUSING CONSTANT COLD AIR TO FLOW THROUGH THE DEFROSTER. BEING IN FLORIDA, THIS CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO CONSTANTLY FOG UP WITH CONDENSATION LIMITING MY FORWARD FIELD OF VIEW. THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY AT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING. IT DOES HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS WELL NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITIONS ARE OUTSIDE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR TRUCK STARTED GIVING US CRANKING ISSUES. IT WOULD TURN OVER CRANK AND IMMEDIATELY DIE. WE WOULD KEEP TRYING AND EVENTUALLY START. AT TIMES IT WOULDNT START. WE WOULD CALL A WRECKER TO GET IT TOWED TO MECHANIC. AFTER IT WOULD SIT WAITING ON WRECKER IT WOULD CRANK. FINALLY AFTER FIGHTING WITH THIS FOR 1 YEAR IT HAS BEEN DEAD FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IT. IT HAS BEEN AT ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE EITHER.

NEXT DAY AND EVERY DAY SINCE THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENS BUT GETTING WORSE. I HAVE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES TO GET STEERING TO WORK. VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. HAVE HEARD MANY OTHERS HAVE SAME ISSUES. SHOULD BE RECALLED LIKE 2015 AND 2016 MODELS. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DEATH TO END OTHERS. ITS NOT HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING BUT AFRAID IT WILL.

STEERING
THIS MORNING 10/23/20 AT 0530 I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WHICH IS 128 FEET LONG. MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON TO THE STREET AND MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP. CODE ON THE DASH SAYS "POWER STEERING SERVICE DUE SOON". I COULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. I HAD TO MUSCLE THE STEERING AND REVERSE THE TRUCK BACK TO MY HOUSE. MY 2019 RAM HAS AROUND 14,000 MILES. I'M SURE GLAD I WAS NOT ON A SIDE STREET OR THE FREEWAY. IT COULD OF BEEN A BAD SITUATION.
