problem #2

Apr 081999

(reported on)

Ram 2500 4WD

  • miles
Although steering did not fail. It is horrible to keep control of vehicle. The steering has a constant binding you must overcome when turning in either direction. You end up over compensating and are in a constant zig-zag especially at highway speeds. This has been a problem with Ram 2500's so my dealer tells me. Chrysler says it is normal characteristic of this vehicle. I have never driven anything that steers as bad as this in my whole life.
