Description of the problem	I purchased my 2002 dodge ram 1500 about 3 months ago in august, the first incident occurred while driving down a very busy 35 mph road just passed a dangerous school zone and i have a total loss of steering. Turns out my power steering rack and pinion has failed. Now in 12 month i have replaced the part 4 more times and it is still broken leaving me everytime with a total loss of steering. The truck now sits in my driveway as i pay for it every month because dodge wont do anything about this problem that cant be fixed.
