Safety recall for steering ground cable was fixed by dealer and my power steering is still intermittently going away causing steering to lock up temporarily. Taking back to dealer for second time to see if they can fix it. It is not safe and almost caused me to cross the center line at 55 mph and hit a car head on.

I took my truck into the dealership for problems with the fuel economy being severely below the epa rating. While at the dealership, i found out that the dealership sold me a brand new truck with two open recalls that were unrepaired. I believe this is illegal.

Steering
While driving at highway speeds, initiating a sweeping left hand turn, like an on-ramp, the steering wheel 'sticks' to the left wanting to continue a sweeping left turn and requiring a significant pull to force recentering the truck. (describes like breaking a bolt loose). Intermittent replication requiring highway speeds means dealership is writing it off as 'normal operation'.

While driving, power steering unavailable caution followed by service suspension immediately. Power steering is lost while driving and intermittently comes back or is lost. I have taken to the dealership twice and they 'can't find anything wrong'. This is extremely dangerous while driving at 50-70 mph on the highways and interstate.
