Power streering hose had to be replace on my 2003 dogde Ram 1500 truck. Low milages. I should have not had to replace hose.

  • Automatic transmission

The power steering unit on my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 failed twice in the last two years. While I was at K&M Dodge for the second repair, two other 2003 Dodge Ram owners came into the repair shop with exactly the same problem (now that was within a one hour period). This seems unlikely to be pure coincidence; and suggests a widespread problem.

Ram 1500 4WD 8-cyl

  • miles
Numerous problems with 2003 Dodge Ram since ownership. The consumer experienced a stalling problem that occurred whenever the vehicle was coming to a stop or idling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who could not diagnose the problem. Power steering fluid leaked due to faulty clamp. The vehicle was leaking transmission fluid due to a faulty output seal at the transfer case.
