Consumer Description

THE STEERING ON MY DODGE DAKOTA PICKUP FROZE UP SO THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT REALLY PUTTING ALOT OF EFFORT INTO IT. THEN IT WOULD GET BETTER AND WHEN YOU WOULD LEAST EXPECT IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN. I WENT AROUND A CORNER AND IT HAPPENED MID TURN AND I ALMOST T-BONED A CAR IN THE DRIVER DOOR. AT THIS POINT I HAD THE CAR IN THE REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS A BAD UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE JOINT. WHAT BOTHERED ME WAS THAT THE TECHNICIAN SAID DODGE REPLACES ALOT OF THESE DEFECTIVE JOINTS A WEEK. MAYBE THEY SHOULD FIX THEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED???? *TR
