| 8000 mi | The 2012 Dodge Ram is having some problems with inferior leather on the steering wheels that splits. I only have 6,000 miles on the truck and Dodge replaced the steering wheel, an approximately $1,000 item due to the electronic controls. |
| 10000 mi | The second steering wheel also developed cracks in the leather. Dealer is deciding whether this will again be covered...cost is $1,000. Not fixed at this time. |
