I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO, AND I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING, FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEMS.WHEN YOU ARE TURNING OR DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED IT MAKES A CREEKING NOISE, AND A CLICKING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR AND THEY TOLD ME THE BALL JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED, UPPER AND LOWER. THERE IS ONLY 52000 MILES ON MY TRUCK, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE COST FOR REPAIR IS OVER $1000.00 DOLLARS. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS YOU ARE RECIIVEING I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE DEALERS SHOULD BE REPAIRING THE PROBLEMS AT THERE EXPENSE. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHEN GOING OVER RIPPLES OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT AROUND 15 TO 35 MPH, YOU CAN HEAR A STRANGE KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION. ALSO, YOU CAN NOTICE THE LOOSENESS IN THE SUSPENSION WHEN GOING OVER RIPPLES WHEN MAKING A SHARP RIGHT TURN. A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP (KIMS OF LAUREL). THE 1ST TIME I TOOK TO BE SERVICE, THE DEALER MADE A FALSE STATEMENT THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TURNING (I WAS CHARGE FOR TURNING ROTORS WHEN THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. AFTER COMPLAINING, CHARGES WERE WAIVED). I WAS WITHOUT OUT VEHICLE THE 2ND TIME FOR A TOTAL OF 18 DAYS AND THE PROBLEM STILL WASN'T SOLVED. HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK THE 3RD TIME AND AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF LOT, THE LOOSENESS AND KNOCKING NOISE WAS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN GOING OVER BUMBS. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. VERY UNHAPPY WITH SERVICE.*AK
