THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTED PARTS. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 55K MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USED OFF-ROAD. IT'S ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ON CITY & HIGHWAY PAVED ROADS. *JB

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE I HAVE HAD WITH DODGE IN REFERENCE TO BALL JOINT PROBLEMS WITH MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE NOTICED THE RECALL FOR 2000-2003 DODGE DURNAGO PICKUP TRUCKS IN REFERENCE TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT WAS INFORMED BY DODGE THAT NHTSA WAS PERFORMING AN INVESTIGATION INTO 1998 AND 1999 DODGE DURANGOS AS WELL. I FOUND OUT AFTER GOING TO GET MY VEHICLE INSPECTED BY A MIDAS SHOP FOR MISSOURI STATE INSPECTION THAT MY BALL JOINTS WERE BAD. MY FEAR IS THAT ANYONE WITH A VEHICLE PREVIOUS TO 2000 WOULD GET A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT THEIR VEHICLE IS SAFE. I HAVE FOUND VIA ONLINE GROUPS AND THE MIDAS STORE THAT FIXED MY CAR THAT THIS PROBLEM IS PREVELANT IN OLDER DURNAGO AND DAKOTA TRUCKS. I AM ONLY WRITING THIS AS AN FYI TO YOUR ORGANIZATION THAT I OWN ONE OF THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND COOPERATION.*AK

I OWN A 1999 DODGE DURANGO, AND AM MAINLY FILING THIS AS A REQUEST TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE '00-'03 DURANGOS, SINCE I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED ON THE LEFT TIRE CONFIGURATION, AND NEED TO REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE ALSO. THE RECALL SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED TO THE 2000 MODELS! *JB

I SAW THAT 600,000 DODGE DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR BALL JOINT FAILURE. THE RECALL LISTED VEHICLES FOR 2000 - 2004. I HAVE A 1999 DURANGO AND IT WAS JUST IN THE SHOP AND THEY REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS. I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE AND THOUGHT TO INFORM YOU THE PROBLEM MAY EXSIST ON EARLIER MODELS.*AK

I HEARD ON THE RADIO THIS MORNING THAT DODGE MAY RECALL THE 2000 THRU 2004 DAKOTA THUCKS DUE TO BALL JOINT PROBLEMS. I HAVE A 1999 DAKOTA AND MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE BALL JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY COMPLAINT IS IF THEY ARE GOING TO RECALL THE 2000 THROUGH 2004, WHY ARE THEY NOT RECALLING THE 1999'S?

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS LITTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 1999 AND THE 2000. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DAVE BALL. *AK
