1 Steering Gear Box problem

Failure Date: 05/15/1998

Vehicle has had excessive sterring drift since purchased. Dealer has been unable to help correct problem. "they all do that" is the attitude. Seems to effect most Dodge 4 x 4 trucks. Probably a design defect as they seem to all do this from discussions with other owners. Very dangerous at highway speeds.

2 Steering Gear Box problem

Failure Date: 03/15/1998

Font seal on gear box leaks.

3 Steering Gear Box problem

This problem has been reported to DC several times. Many other Dodge Ram owners have the same problem. Now my vehicle is out of warranty and I will be forced to pay to have what I believe is a deffective steering gear box. This is an issue that DC should pay for.
