| Description of the problem | 2002 dodge ram 1500 rack and pinion going out only 60,000 miles.... Also, they replaced a/c fan motor once... I paid several times... About to go out again (low humming noise is indicator - as noise increases, motor fails). I am so disappointed; as a special needs teacher i depend on this vehicle to transport me safely to and from my work.... Cannot depend on it. I hate it... It's been a pain since first problem with 18 miles on it!!! Please, hold dodge accountable for their mistakes.... |
