| Description of the problem | I have two complaints. I will start with the serious one first. While driving my 2006 dodge ram truck down the interstate, it suddenly shut down. I had no power steering. This was a very dangerous situation trying to steer over to the emergency lane. Once over i put the vehicle in park, and it started up, like nothing happen. This happen twice within 2years. I see that the same complaint was filed by another dodge owner(#10270010). Im taking my truck to the dealer tomorrow to see what the problem is. The second complaint is the rear middle seat belt locks up and will not release. I see this is also a problem with other owners. Complaint #'s 10248480, and 10237215. These problems, especially the first should put on a recall list. |
