Consumer Description

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. I HAVE A 1998 BALL JOINTS, AND THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE. I FIGURED THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO MAKE MONEY FOR ANOTHER JOB. I WENT DIRECTLY TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD SHOP TO SEE WHAT THEY SAID AND THEY AGREED. DODGE KNEW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. ALSO, A CASH COW TO THEM AT $1500.00. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE GENTLY AND ONLY HAD HIGH 50000 MILES AT THE TIME OF REPAIR. 1998 DURANGO SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE OIL PUMP FAILED AND THE TRANNY FAILED. THE INTAKE GASKET MANIFOLD FAILED AND CONSUMED 1 QT OF OIL IN TWO DAYS. THE VEHICLE USES EXCESSIVE ANTI FREEZ. THE CRANK SHAFT WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS CONNECTING ROD AND BEARINGS. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO MANY PROBLEMS AND DEALER KNEW OF THE PROBLEMS BEFOREHAND. FOUR BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *TC
