| I have a 2007 dodge durango bought 3/7/07, and on date 4/4/07 been in shop twice for steering issues and they have both times said nothing is wrong. the durango also has idle issue and harmonic balance issue. when driving i have to keep steering to the left in order to stay straight, turn to right not even half inch and you are in the other lane of traffic. go around curve at 35 to 45 mph and you feel like tires are going to fall off. dealer ship has on both occasions in shop said nothing wrong. there is a recall on steering however mine wasn't included. very hard to maintain own lane when driving. nothing has corrected. a back tire was replaced on 4-2-07 dealer checked drove and didn't find anything. *ak | |||
