Consumer Description

WHEN I GOT AN OIL CHANGE, THE MECHANIC DID AN INSPECTION AND SAID THE BALL JOINTS AND TIE RODS SHOULD BE REPLACED AS THEY WERE SHOWING WEAR AND PLAY. WHEN HE LET THE CAR DOWN AND SAW THE MILEAGE WAS 26,700 HE SAID THAT THE PARTS SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE BAD UNLESS I WAS OFF ROADING THE CAR. THE CAR IS DRIVEN 4 MILES ROUND TRIP ON PAVED MAINTAINED ROADS DAILY AT 30 MPH. AND ON OCCASIONALLY AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS OF 55MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER WHO SAID THERE IS NO RECALL OR KNOWN COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2007 WHEN THEY CAME OUT. *TR
