Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE DAKOTA P/U TRUCK STARTED NOTICING NOISE WHILE MAKING ANY TYPE OF TURNING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK TO MY MECHANICS WHO PUT IN SOME STEERING FLUID. HE TOLD ME THIS SHOULD HELP AND IF PROBLEM DOES RETURN THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY THE STEERING SHAFT THAT WILL HAVE TO BE WORKED ON & WILL BE EXPENSIVE TO FIX. IT WAS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED & I'M MAKING PLANS TO TAKE IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC TO FIX THE STEERING SHAFT. AFTER READING NUMEROUS PROBLEM OTHER OWNERS ARE ALSO FACING CONCERNING THE STEERING THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR
