Description of the problem	My 2002 dodge 1500 quad cab 4x4 had a leak on the power steering hose,which was repaired under warranty in 2004. In 2005 i notice power steering fluid leaking again in the same area and thought it was the hose again. This time it turn out to be a leek in the gear box. At the time the truck had 62000 kms and 3 months past it's warranty and has not been driven off road. The dodge dealer would not help cover any expenses for this premature failure. Currently the steering is unstable on uneven road surfaces and i do not drive it in the winter. There has been no accidents but one near miss when the truck veered over to the on coming lane after going over a bump.
