SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
AT 38,000 MILES I TOOK MY 1999 DURANGO TO GET MY STATE INSPECTION. THE FRONT END NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BECASUE OF A FAILED BALL JOINT. THIS REPAIR COST ME $700 DOLLARS. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE DURANGO AND THEY HAVE RECALLED THE CAR FOR THIS ISSUE. THE RECALL IS FOR THE YEARS 2000 UNTILL PRESENT. WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO BOUGHT THE FIRST DURANGO. THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE OLDER MODELS ON THE ROAD THAT ARE UNSAFE. *AK

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BALL JOINTS ON MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO TWICE IN THREE YEARS. I ALSO FOUND OUT TODAY THAT I NEEDED A NEW HUB ASSEMBLY. I KNOW THERE ARE LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HAVE DAIMLER/CHRYSLER FIX THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO, KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2000-2004 MODELS, BUT WHAT ABOUT 1999 MODELS. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH SIMILAR PROBLEMS EXIST WITH PREMATURE AGING OF THE BALL JOINTS AND OTHER FRONT END COMPONENTS. *AK
