Consumer Description

DODGE DURANGO 1998 BALL JOINT FAILURE AND FULL SEPARATION WITH NO WARNING, WHICH CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IN AN ON-ROAD ACCIDENT TO SEVERAL VEHICLES. DODGE CORPORATION WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE HUNDREDS OF BALL JOINT FAILURES AND LOST LIVES DUE TO THIS POOR DESIGN AND DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS. MY VEHICLE HAS 84,000 MILES ON IT AND BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES! BALL JOINTS, ACCORDING TO TOP MECHANICS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST ABOUT 100,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACEMENT AND RARELY SEPARATE. THESE COMPONENTS USED BY DODGE ARE DEADLY, DEFICIENT, AND OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. HOW MANY MORE LIVES HAVE TO BE LOST BEFORE THE ISSUE IS PROPERLY DEALT WITH?? *TR
