Description of the problem	Was driving on gravel road after a heavy rain. Came upon a water puddle and when i crossed it the front wheels hit fairly hard. At that point the front steering locked. I let the vehicle roll to a stop as i feared loosing control and leaving the road. The steering wheel remained locked until i had stopped. I then turned off the motor and restarted the vehicle. I turned the steering wheel at stopped position and with effort i was able to turn left then right. I feel something is wrong with this truck. It is not covered in the buy back on dodge ram trucks as i understand it, so what is up with that? What could be the difference between 2006 & 2008-2012 vehicles? I am very unhappy with this truck for other issues, which i do not find with other brands such as gmc or ford. She is beautiful to look at, but seems to have inherent problems in all these trucks. My brother-in-law and his son own the same models but one is an 2008 and the other 2012 with much the same issues as my truck. Heating and cooling is bad. Wind at the side windows is intolerable. Cannot carry on any conversation with the family when going 65 mph because of the excessive noise level from these poorly constructed cab window frames. Ok that's it from me. Please tell why this 2006 dodge ram 1500 was not offered a buy back? Best regards rcm
