WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AT ANYTIME THE STEERING WOULD BECOME INOPERABLE. ON THE FIRST 3 INCEDENTS A HARD JERK OF THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BREAK IT FREE FROM ITS EXTREMELY TIGHT CONDITION. THE TRUCK WOULD ONCE AGAIN RETURN TO NORMAL AS IF THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM. AFTER THE FIRST INCEDENT I GAVE THE TRUCK'S STEERING SYSTEM A THOROUGH CHECK. NOTHING SEEMED WRONG OR OUT OF PLACE.I TRIED TO CONTACT MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER HOWEVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT OPEN ON SATURDAYS. SINCE THE TRUCK NOW SEEMED FINE I ATTEMPTED TO GO TO MY HOUSE IN IT. I DROVE 40-50 MILES TOWARD MY HOME WITHOUT A PROBLEM. WITHIN 6 MILES OF HOME IT OCCURED AGAIN, JUST AS IT DID THE FIRST TIME ONCE AGAIN A HARD JERK FREED THE WHEEL. ANOTHER CHECK OF THE STEERING SYSTEM REVEALED NOTHING, EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE FINE. 1.5 MILES LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS AGAIN. AT THIS TIME I DECIDED TO SLOW DOWN MY SPEEDS TO 35-40MPH TO HELP AVOID DANGER JUST TO MAKE IT HOME AND MONDAY I WOULD CONTACT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO TOWN. HOWEVER, UPON APPROACHING THE NEXT BEND IN THE ROAD I WAS UNABLE TO NEGOTIATE THE CURVE RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH A CLUSTER OF TREES. I SUFFERED ONLY MINOR INJURIES COMMON IN THAT TYPE OF ACCIDENT. SINCE THEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER MAKING A FORMAL COMPLAINT, RESULTING IN A INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR LOOKING AT MY TRUCK. I STRESS LOOKING AT IT BECAUSE THAT IS ALL HE DID BESIDES TAKING PICTURES OF IT. HE NEVER REMOVED ANY COMPONENT.
