Consumer Description

THIS IS A 2003 DODGE DAKOTA PICK-UP WITH 2 WHEEL DRIVE. UPPER BALL JOINT AND FRONT HUB BEARING ARE BOTH BAD, AND MUST BE REPLACED . THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 34,900 MILES ON IT. STARTED MAKING A LOUD HUMMING SOUND WHEN MAKING A TURN AND WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION. WE THOUGHT MAYBE IT JUST NEEDED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THE ALIGNMENT COULD NOT BE DONE AND THE REPAIRS WERE VERY MUCH NEEDED FOR OUR SAFETY. READING ON LINE I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER HAS ONLY AGREED TO RECALL 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF DAKOTA'S WITH 2 WHEEL DRIVE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, WHY ARE THEY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? *TR
