Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2003 DODGE DAKOTA ON 02/01/2003. SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE I HEAR A METALIC POPPING NOISE WHEN I TURN SHARPLY. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE NOISE IS PROBABLY MY SPARE TIRE LOCK BUT EVEN IF I SECURE THE LOCK THE NOISE CONTINUES. BECAUSE OF THE RECENT NEWS STORIES ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL I'M CONCERNED THAT THE NOISE I AM HEARING MAY BE FROM THE BALL-JOINT DEFECT THAT IS BEING SCRUTINIZED.*AK
