NHTSA Complaint #10265993 — 1999 DODGE DURANGO

THE DURANGO WHICH IS A 1999 MODEL RECENTLY BROKE 100,000 MILES, AFTER IT HIT THAT 100.00 MILE MARK I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING HAD AT LEAST 1/2 IN. OF PLAY. I TOOK THE DURANGO IN TO A TIRE PLACE TO HAVE MY TIRES REPLACED AND THEY TOLD MY THAT THE TIE RODS WERE BAD. THAT WAS AROUND CHRISTMAS. NOT TOO LONG AGO I REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE ON THE TRUCK COSTING ME ALMOST $400.00!! THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT I WAS ABOUT A WEEKS WORTH OF DRIVING AWAY FROM BEING PUT IN A DITCH BECAUSE MY TIE RODS WERE IN SUCH BAD CONDITION. I HAVE TO GO TO WORK SO THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I CAME ACROSS A BLOG TALKING ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE 2000-2003 MODEL DURANGOS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WANT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT MY DURANGO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX A PROBLEM ON MY ONLY VEHICLE THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. THE VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED UNSAFE. *TR
