Consumer Description

RECALL 2000-2004 4X4 DAKOTAS/DURANGOS HEY, WHAT'S UP WITH ONLY 4X4S???? TWO WHEEL DRIVE DAKOTAS AND DURANGOS HAVE THE SAME BALL JOINTS AS THE 4X4S. WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IF MY WHEELS FALL OFF BEFORE THE 100,000 MILE GUARANTEE BEING OFFERED ON MINE IS UP? WHAT'S THIS NONSENSE IT "ONLY HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS, NOT HIGH SPEEDS". THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND IS DC WAY OF SAVING MONEY. PERHAPS THE GOVERNMENT ONLY INVESTIGATED THE 4X4S SINCE THEY ARE THE MOST POPULAR VEHICLES (I.E., 600,000 4X4 VERSUS 200,000 TWO WHEEL DRIVE) NEVER GIVING A THOUGHT TO THOSE OF US WHO DO NOT OWN THE 4X4 VERSIONS. *JB
