2002 Dodge RAM QUAD CAB Steering Rack And Pinion Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	591727
Internal NHTSA #	10160105
Manufacurer	DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM QUAD CAB
Model Year	2002
File date	15/06/06
Component	STEERING:RACK AND PINION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	For no apparent reason and without warning, the rack and pinion steering failed causing excessive leaking of power steering fluid and failure of the power steering. Dodge/chrysler denied any assistance to the issue. The vehicle is a 2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab, 4. 7 liter engine. 72,000 highway miles. It has come to my attention from the dealer that this is a common problem that can happen 2,000 miles to 200,000 miles indicating the continued use of a defective part. Despite my willingness to accept the labor costs of the repair chrysler refuses to assist with the cost of the $600. 00 part. There is no after market part available due to the truck being "too new" according to the dealer. This part failed due to a manufacturing issue and not abuse on my part. The part can not be repaired and must be replaced since dodge/chrysler does not supply a parts package to repair the part. Due to this fact the part must be replaced and not repaired. This is also a great safety issue as the power steering leaked out without warning causing the loss of power steering. An accident could have resulted from the loss of power steering. *jb
