| Description of the problem | I am experiencing a problem with my steering on my 2007 2500 ram, i took it into a dealership for repair and found that the steering linkage is under recall. The problem i described to them is identical to that of the recall description. I have been told that the power steering pump is shot and i need to replace. This does not make sense since the vehicle only has 47000 miles and the description matches that of the recall. Secondly, i was told that the parts aren't readily available and i would have to wait 2-3 weeks. I cannot turn this vehicle to the right at times and this could cause an accident or worse! |
