Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The vehicle loses power steering in slow conditions, normally while in parking lots or making a turn. This normally only happens when making a right hand turn. When this occurs, it is nearly impossible to continue the turn of the wheel to complete your turn. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer numerous times since new to recent and we are always told that they cannot re-create the issue, so there is nothing to fix. The problem will likely result in a crash at some point if it is not addressed, as it creates a very unsafe condition and inability to control the turn of the vehicle. This problem has happened since the truck was new up until most recently today, july 30, 2018. |
