Consumer Description

THERE ARE 2 RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. DODGE REFUSES TO FIX THE 2ND RECALL (NHTSA# 00V421002) . THEY CLAIM TO ONLY KNOW ABOUT THE 1ST RECALL (NHTSA# 99V066003). MY BALL JOINTS HAVE FAILED AND THE RUBBER BOOT IS OK, BUT THE SECOND RECALL SAYS TO INSPECT THE JOINT ITSELF , NOT THE BOOT.*AK
