Description of the problem	I just purchased a 2009 dodge ram power wagon 2500. I've been driving it for about 10-14 days now. (this is my 7th ram!) i immediately noticed a different feel in the steering wheel. When driving straight in the "12 o'clock" position, the steering wheel feels as though it not even connected to the wheels! There's no feeling of tension on the steering wheel, feeling as if the truck is driving on its own. Then, when hitting a bump, the wheels want to jump in one direction, causing you to have to counter steer to regain tension on the steering wheel to enable you to control the wheels, and sometimes nearly causing you to loose control! For a truck of this caliber (and price!), the steering should feel definite and constant. My dealership performed service (march 12, 2009) to the tie rods due to a recent recall. Didn't seem to make a difference at all. There has to be another issue or problem going on here.
