Description of the problem | My 2013 dodge ram 1500 suddenly lost power steering while in motion causing me to enter a ditch and my vehicle suffered minor damage. The vehicle still runs fine but the emergency light is still on and there is no power steering. Online research showed mopar knows this is an issue with 2013-2015 models and recalls exist but my vin shows no such recall. Lives will be lost if this issue is not addressed. My vehicle only has 70,000 miles on it and instant power steering loss on a fully functional vehicle is very concerning. If someone is on a curve as i was there is no way to navigate the situation. |
