#10039137September 18, 2003
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I TOOK MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ALIGNMENT COULD NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE OF BAD BALL JOINTS. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED A LETTER FROM DIAMLER CHRYSLER REGARDING AN INQUIRE INTO FAULTY BALL JOINTS ON THE DURANGO. THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT IT OUT TO SEE IF A RECALL IS GOING TO BE DONE OR NOT. I WORRY THAT THE BALL JOINT COULD SNAP WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IS THERE ANYTHING PENDING ON THIS ISSUE OR NOT? THEY GAVE ME THE OPTION OF REPLACING THEM FOR $800 AND SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FROM DIAMLER CHRYSLER. I DOUBT THEY WOULD REIMBURSE IF THEY DETERMINE THAT THERE IS NOT PROBLEM. IT IS A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS SINCE OUR DURANGO ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. NO PART SHOULD WEAR OUT IN THAT TIME FRAME UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.
