NHTSA Complaint #10105639 — 1998 DODGE DURANGO

1998 DODGE DURANGO - I PURCHASED A 1998 DODGE DURANGO FROM BRANFOIRD DODGE 2 YEARS AGO. THE DOSGE HAD 50,000 MILES AND NOW HAS 71,500 MILES. THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ARE BAD AND THE CONTROL ARMS AND JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH DODGE SINCE THE INVESTIGATION WAS IN PLACE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DODGE IS TELLING ME THAT ONLY THE 2000-2003 MODELS ARE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY! WHY WOULDN'T THE 1998 & 1999 BE COVERED AS WELL SEEING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES AND ACCIDENTS WITH PICTURES DUE TO BALL JOINT FAILURE ON THE 1999 & 1998 DURANGOS. WHO DO I CALL AND FOR ASSISTANCE ON THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS A BILL OF OVER $1,000 DOLLARS. PLEASE REPLY WITH ATTORNEYS INVOLVED WITH MATTERS SUCH AS THIS ONE.
