Ram 2500 4WD

While pulling out of the driveway, there was no power steering and no brakes. After the vehicle was towed to the dealer, no defects were found, however, the vehicle was suspected to have a valve leaked. The consumer later saw oil on the ground, got into the vehicle and the same thing occurred again. He let the vehicle run for a few minutes and the power and brakes came back.
