Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Steering wheel has a support bracket at the bottom where is you are not careful you can get your finger stuck in the wheel and you are not going to get it out easily. I did this by accident and had a difficult time getting my finger free while trying to steer the van. Also the space around the horn button is such if you have buttons on a sport's jacket those buttons can get caught under the horn button and makes controlling the steering wheel almost impossible. So when turning the wheel if any of these conditions happen you might not have the control of the steering that one would need. I just looked at the dodge site and they still are using the same design on the steering wheel. It has happened to be very much but when i am more aware of this and i do not wear that jacket while driving this van. |
