I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A SEIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY DURANGO AND CALLED MY MECHANIC TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I AM PUTTING THIS IN WRITING TO ESTABLISH A RECORD IF THERE IS A PROBLEM.

STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
THE STEERING BOX ON MY 1999 DURANGO FAILED. I AM ADVISED THAT DODGE IS HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH STEERING BOXES ON THESE VEHICLES. MY MECHANIC ADVISES THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF DURANGOS WITH BAD STEERING BOXES AND NEW ONE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO APRIL 2004. IF THIS IS SO THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHICH THE NTSB SHOULD LOOK INTO AND IF NECESSARY A RECALL SHOULD BE FORCED.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. I LEARNED TODAY THAT BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM, FRONT BALL JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. I UNDERSTAND THAT PREMATURE WEARING OUT OF THESE IS NOT UNCOMMON. I WOULD LIKE THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE THESE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONSIDERATE, BUT NOT HELPFUL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THESE VEHICLES RECALLED AS I UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, BUT COULD BE VERY UNSAFE. ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO EXPEDITE A RECALL WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *LA

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 1999 DODGE DURANGO AND HAVE FAITHFULLY MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE WITH OIL CHANGES, TUNE-UPS, ETC. I RECENTLY BROUGHT MY DURANGO INTO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, DUE TO THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT END BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ARM CONTROL, AND THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TOTAL COSTS OF REPAIR, INCLUDING NEW TIRES, ETC. TOTALED OVER $2000.00. NO ONE INFORMED ME OF A POTENTIAL RECALL OF THE BALL JOINTS, UNTIL I PICKED MY CAR UP, AND PAID THE BILL. NOW I FIND OUT THAT YOUR AGENCY HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO DATE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF FAILURE OF THE BALL JOINTS AT EXTREME COST TO CAR OWNERS. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY ABOUT 48,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOUR AGENCY WILL TAKE ACTION SOON, AS THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND COULD LEAD TO FATALITIES IF NOT ADDRESSED. *LA
