| Description of the problem | Advance trac light came on and blinkers stopped working. Dealer charged 105 to diagnose, came back and said steering rack need ed to be replaced. At almost 2000. 00. Turns out steering is all electronic! I did not have 2000. 00 to fix so i had to pick it up. Was told steering could go out at any time. After searches, found out this is a very common issue on 2012 to 2014 trucks. It is also a very dnagerous issue. Why has this not been recalled? When are these car companies going to learn, stop putting all of the electronic components in a vehicle, they do not last. |
