| Description of the problem | The rack and pinion went out on my 2005 dodge ram 1500 on the highway almost causing me to crash. Everywhere i look online and the dealer said they almost all go out. This is very dangerous i pull a trailer all the time and it is always in the back of my mind. I just cannot figure out why they haven't recalled it with so many complaints. |
