Consumer Description

I OWN A 2001 DODGE DAKOTA AND NOTICED A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND FROM MY WHEEL WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL AT A HARD ANGLE AND IT IS WORSE WHEN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE VECHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT HAS NOT BEEN IN TO GET REPAIRED. I HAVE SAW SEVERAL REPORTS WHERE SIMILAR NOISE RESULTED IN A LOST WHEEL ON THE VECHICLE. DODGE SHOULD RECALL THIS BALL JOINT PROBLEM AND MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE. I DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR WORK SALES PURPOSES AND PUT ON VERY MANY MILES PER YEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS NOISE HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME AND WHEN COLD OR IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WORSE WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED HARD.
