Consumer Description

I OWN A 2007 DODGE CALIBER SXT. IN EARLY 2009 I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT THE RIGHT LOWER BALLJOINT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. MY CAR ONLY HAD 45,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT ELSEWHERE TO BE REPLACED. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2010, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT THE LEFT LOWER BALLJOINT NOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE FRONT FEA THAT CONTAINS THE RECENTLY REPLACED RT BALL JOINT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHICH ADVISED ME THAT BALL JOINTS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED THIS EARLY ON. I THEN DID RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND I THINK THIS IS A DEFECT THAT LIES WITHIN DODGE. THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S SAFETY AT RISK! *TR
