Consumer Description

LAST YEAR MY 1999 DODGE DAKOTA, 5.2L SLT FAIL IT'S ANNUAL INSPECTION DUE TO FAULTY BALL JOINTS. ONE YEAR LATER AND LESS THAN 10,000 MILES THE BALL JOINTS NEED REPLACE AGAIN. I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE PART TIME AS A SECOND VEHICLE AND DO NOT DRIVE ON UNSMOOTH SURFACES. IT COST $700 LAST YEAR TO REPLACE THE BOTTOM BALL JOINTS AND I AM NOT LOOKING FOWARD TO PAYING THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR. THE STEARING IS VERY LOOSE AND HARD TO CONTROL. I TURN THE WHEEL AND THE WHEELS DO NOT REACT IN A TIMELY MANNOR. IT IS ALSO HARD TO STAY IN THE DRIVING LANE. THE VEHICLE SWAYS FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER.
