Have problems with truck wandering all over road at speeds over 40-45-MPH from when truck was new... Many times I tried to get truck in after recall notices and did not have parts. Not resolved to this date. Now new problem I have is steering is very tight and does not return to center after turning and is a major danger. Truck was just in dealer for the problem and fixed one recall which was to replace steering linkage that was done but did nothing nothing to fix my hard steering and not returning to center steering problem .I have been waiting almost a week for a call back from dodge customer car now. There is still a recall on front axle welds that has not been taken care of because of lack of parts that I have tried to take care of on numerous occasions ?
