I've had a number of issues with my 2006 dakota rt 4x4. I took it in last week because when your doing 60+ mph every little road bump has the front end hopping up and down all over the place. The dealer just looked at me for awhile and said, " We don't have time for your crazy complaints, today." It took these idiots 6 weeks to figure out a small tranny issue that was faulty from the factory. And they kept telling me that they couldn't recreate the symptoms I was experiencing... I asked them to just replace the shocks with something stiffer... we don't have anything stiffer, we can put on the off road package for you, maybe that would help. But you'll have to pay for it! I' ve enjoyed my truck when it's working, but since June I've had it in to 5 different dealers a total of 16 times...... Arrrrgggghhh!!

Any suggestions about what I might be able to do to fix this obvious design flaw??

Thanks,

Steve
