SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
WITH REGARD TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT AS OF 2000 ALL VEHICLES SEAT BELTS MUST BE ABLE TO BE USED WITHOUT THE "H CLIP" WHEN SECURING A CHILD SAFETY SEAT. ON MY DURANGO I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT HOW THE SEAT BELT WORKS WITHOUT THE USE OF THE "H CLIP". I EVEN HAD AN ENGINEER FRIEND OF MINE WHO WORKS WITH GM SAFETY RESTRANTS SYSTEMS TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT EITHER. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME HELP AS WELL AS HOW THIS VEHICLE PASSED THE INSPECTION. THANK YOU!!!*AK

#756651January 10, 2002
SUSPENSION:FRONT
AROUND 30,000 MILES, NOTICED INNER TREADS OF FRONT TIRES WERE GETTING LOW. HAD ALIGNMENT DONE AROUND 20,000 MILES AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T NECCESSARY. WENT FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT AT 44,000 BECAUSE INNER TREADS WERE NOW BALD. REPLACED TIRES AND HAD ALIGNMENT DONE. PROBLEM, RIGHT BALL JOINT IS JUST ABOUT HANGING OFF. BOOT COVER IS FULLY STRETCHED. MECHANIC CAN'T DO ALIGNMENT. DODGE SAYS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR (OUT OF WARRANTY). I DON'T THINK SO, NOTICED ALIGNMENT PROBLEM FROM START. SEEMS DODGE FEELS PULLING IS NORMAL WHEN DRIVING.*AK
