| Description of the problem | 65 mph the steering wheel wobbles uncontrollably. My job is located 60 miles from home, one way, all highway miles. Incredibly dangerous. I have my 4 year old daughter riding with me. If i slow down i can usually regain control of the truck, one day we may end up in ditch. I bought this truck hoping for a reliable and safe vehicle for my daughter and i, which i don't feel i have accomplished! I am terrified for other drivers on the road, steering may go out, and i can't miss work due to dodge mistakes! We have owned this truck for less than 2months. Something has to change before something bad happens! |
