Description of the problem	My 2002 dodge ram has several potetial accident, causing problems, one when im driving in the rain or after a rain water in the road it causes m steering to lock up and i cannot steer. I reported this to a dealer in town and the service rep said that the steering will turn into manual drive and seem harder to steer, wow i could not believe i heard that and the problem has never been corrected and i have reported this to dodge on several occassions. Also when im driving down the road or highway in the 2002 dodge ram and i run over a small bump such as on overpasses when the bridge portion meets the ground side my truck will lose control sometimes to the point of the rear end attempting to spin the truck around i guess the only thing that has prevented this is the forward movement itself, however i have come upon situations when im turning in a particular direction and a bump is in the road prior to the turn and the truck leaves me limited control as the rear end suspension reacting to the small bump attempts to make the trucks rear end jump and attempt to spend around. This is a very sick feeling and numerous passangers have expressed concern for this trucks fault as they experience this while riding in the truck.*ak
