Consumer Description

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A CLAIM REGARDING MY 2001 DODGE DURANGO 4X4. I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ON MY DURANGO. BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE SO WORN OUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO DOWN THE HIGHWAY STRAIGHT. THE BALL JOINTS WERE BOTH LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE SINCE HAD THEM REPLACED. THE TRUCK HAD ONLY 59,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL THIS IS PREMATURE WEAR AND IS A FAULTY DESIGN. I HAVE SEEN THE INVESTIGATION ON TV AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM. IT HAS AFFECTED ALOT OF VEHICLES FROM 1998-2003, WHY HAS NO ONE FORCED A RECALL YET? THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE, IF THE FRONT WHEELS FLY OFF, OR YOU CANT KEEP THE VEHICLE GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DODGE SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT IT IMMEDIATLY.*AK
