2002 Dodge RAM 1500 Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	835778
Internal NHTSA #	10374209
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 1500
Model Year	2002
File date	26/12/10
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My truck began leaking power steering fluid while parked outside my house. The vehicle was not running, nor moving. Enough fluid leaked out to form a puddle under my truck. I use this truck to tow a 3200 pound travel trailer. I am thankful i was not pulling this trailer or driving the truck when the power steering began leaking. I am not the only dodge truck owner to whom this has happened. This is a design flaw, a safety hazard and these trucks need to be recalled before someone is seriously injured or possibly killed. I live in southwestern pennsylvania and the roads on which i travel are very steep and winding. It terrifies me to think what may happen if this unit was to fail while i was navigating these roads. Please take action to force dodge to correct this design flaw before someone dies. Thank you!
