| Description of the problem | At approx. 45k mi vehicle developed severe "wobble" in front steering. Contacted dealer who disavowed any knowledge of occurances on other trucks. Contacted chrysler who directed me back to dealership. Took to dealership who tried to sell repair at $3400. 00 found many similar complaints on-line and suggested repair was to replace with "steering upgrade kit" marketed through dodge dealer at over $800. 00. Had installed at my cost and now chrysler is saying my vehicle is not part of recall and to take back to dealership for inspection of replaced parts that are now individually being recalled. |
