Consumer Description

PURCHASED MY SLIGHTLY USED DURANGO IN JUNE 2003. IMMEDIATELY FELT THE STEERING WAS "LOOSE". TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS THEY COULD SEE. HAD MY CAR INSPECTED 11 MONTHS LATER AND IT FAILED B/C THE LEFT BALL JOINT WAS BAD. LUCKILY, I HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OR IT WOULD'VE BEEN A HEFTY FEE TO REPLACE. IT'S BEEN 1 MONTH SINCE THAT REPLACEMENT AND STILL CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR TURNING. I'M TAKING MY DURANGO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY FOR THEM TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK TO SEE IF MAYBE THERE ARE MORE BALL JOINTS OR SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE STEERING. *JB
