NHTSA Complaint #10102984 — 1999 DODGE DURANGO

PREMATURE WEAR OF UPPER CONTROL ARMS, BUSHINGS AND BALLJOINTS AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ON MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO AT 77,000 MILES. SQUEAK WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE ABOVE PROBLEM BY A TECHNICIAN NAMED BILL BLACKWOOD AT ALLEN SAMUELS DODGE IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS ON 12/14/04. THE COST OF REPAIRS WAS SAID TO BE $2,312.54 (AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT!). THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, MR. TERRY WEBER, ADMITTED A PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTS, BUT SIAD THE NEW RECALL ONLY GOES BACK TO THE 2000 MODELS. I BELIEVE IT SHOUD BE EXTENDED TO AT LEAST INCLUDE THE 1999 MODELS ASAP.*AK
