Consumer Description

VEHICLE HANDLES POORLY,WANDERS,NO FEEL TO STEERING.HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER HAS STATED THAT MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT HASEN'T COME UP WITH A SOLUTION.VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE,VERY HARD TO KEEP GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE,AND TO STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE. I DON'T FEEL THAT DODGE IS DOING ALL THAT IT CAN TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION.I AM PLANNING A TRIP TO ALASKA PULLING A FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER NEXT SUMMER AND DO NOT FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE TO DO SO WITH THIS VEHICLE.*AK
