The manufacturer sent a third party to fix an airbag recall. Before the third-party technician touched my truck for the recall, both my horn and cigarette lighter worked. Now, after their repair, neither works. Therefore, something they did caused an electrical fault. I advised whoever sent the technician and they said they would send the guy back. No one will answer my calls and no one has fixed my issue.
Power steering went out on interstate 295 in jacksonville FL. Causing to lose control of truck and allmost crashing. Had repaired and picked up 6 Jan to return home in savannah GA. After driving about 30 miles up I 95 power steering went out again. Had tuck towed to savannah and to Dodge dealer.
The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Dakota. The contact stated that the power steering would violently jerk. The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing but the vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The current mileage was 56,000 and the approximate failure mileage was 55,500. The VIN was not available.
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????.
