| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have had problems with loose steering on our 1998 dodge dakota for approx. 2 years now. we have had a couple adjustments, and parts replaced and finally have been told that is an issue with the manufacturing of the steering components and it will cost us in excess of $1000 to repair. i went online to see if anyone else has had similar problems with this and found out that there are literally hundreds of complaints out there for this very problem. it appears to me that dodge is not concerned with all these complaints but i wanted to file mine anyway. i was told by my garage that the vehicle is safe to drive, but i read story after story of accidents that have caused severe damage to vehicles, injury and even death. |
