Description of the problem | Noticed an issue at about 70000 miles where turning left at low speeds under 10 mph there is a sound clunk in the steering. It is easily reputable and happens often regardless of direction, reverse or forward drive. The dealer said it is a failure of the steering rack, and it needs replaced. $1800 for the part and $3 hours of install brings the repair to $2400 for a 3 year old truck. I noticed many other complaints of the same description. Dealer states that the rack needs to be replaced and wouldn't recommend driving it until repaired. I asked what could happen if it failed completely and if this was related to any other recalls. They said complete steering loss and they would not speculate on recalls associated to this failure |
