SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION WITH CRYSTLER. PERTAINING TO THE BALL JOINTS ON DODGE DURANGOS. OURS FAILED,WE HAD THEM REPLACED AT 50,000 MILES. THEY PUT THE SAME SIZE BALL JOINTS ON THE CAR. WE HAD JUST PUT ON NEW TIRES AND BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY BALL JOINTS IT COMPLETLY RUINED THEM WITH IN 2 MONTHS. I THEN CHECKED THE OLD BALL JOINTS MYSELF. WHAT I FOUND WAS AMAXING. THE BALL JOINTS ON THESE CARS ARE THE SAME SIZE AS THE BALL JOINTS ON MY ARTIC CAT ATV. WOULD YOU NOT THINK THEY WOULD BE LARGER BECAUSE OF THE CAPACITY OF WEIGHT THE DURANGO CARRIES. SO 1100.00 LATER I AM WOULDERING HOW LONG THESE BALL JOINTS WILL LAST. OR AM I BETTER OFF HAVING MY WHEELS FALL OFF AND CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
I FELT A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK MY TIRES. THEY INFORMED ME, THAT IT WASN'T MY TIRES, BUT MY BALL JOINT WAS WORN. I CALLED DYMLERCHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD, THAT THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE, WITH THE DURANGOS AND DAKOTAS. THAT IT WAS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION WITH THEM AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY. THAT HAS BEEN OVER 7 MONTHS AGO AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. WITH THE MOUNTING COMPLAINTS, I CAN NOT BELIEVE, THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED??*AK
