Consumer Description

ON THIS 2006 DAKOTA, STEERING IS VERY STIFF AND MAKES ME OVER CORRECT THE STEERING WITH EACH TURN, CAUSING ME TO JERK THE WHEEL HARD. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE I HAVE ALMOST HIT PARKED CARS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING. I HAVE HEARD MANY WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FEEL OUR 2006 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL IF THERE SHOULD BE ONE(REALLY NEEDS TO BE). *TR
