2000 Dodge Dodge Truck

DODGE DIESEL 1 TON 4X4 2000,WENT THROUGH A SET OF TIRES EVERY 15,000 MILES. *BF THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FRONT TIRE WEAR. THE DEALER WAS TOLD MY THE MANUFACTURER TO TELL THE CONSUMER TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED EVERY 6000 MILES. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THIS IS NOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE. THE CONSUMER EXPLAINED THAT THE TRUCK HAS NEVER DRIVEN AS IT SHOULD, INSTEAD IT WANDERED FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING. THE *NM

1) FRONT END BALL JOINTS NEEDED REPAIR-BROUGHT IN FOR CHECK BECAUSE OF NEWS STORY 2) DOOR/ALARM SWITCHES MALFUNCTIONED AND HAD TO BE DISABLED TO PREVENT ALARM FROM GOING OFF. ALL SWITCHES REPLACED AND WAS SUCCESFUL THOUGH ADVISED IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CONTROL CHIP AND UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHICH, SO IT WAS A FINANCIAL GAMBLE TO REPAIR. *AK

NUMEROUS FRINT END PROBLEMS, MAINLY BALL JOINTS. DEALER WOULD JUST LUBICATE THE JOINTS AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. ITS BEEN ALMOST 5 YEARS AND PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. FRONT END IS NOT TIGHT AND BALL JOINTS WERE NEVER PROPERLY FIXED. ALSO, SEAT BELT FAILED TO OPERATE DURING AN ACCIDENT IN 2002 WHICH FLUNG MY DAUGHTERS CAR SEAT INTO THE BACK OF THE FRONT PASSANGER AND LANDING HER IN THE HOSPITAL.*AK

ON MY 2000 DODGE DAKATO PICK-UP TRUCK, THE BALL JOINT POPPED OUT WHILE DRIVING. I TRIED TO CONTACT DODGE ON OCTOBER 31, 2003, TO INFORM THEM THAT THEIR MUST BE SOME KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THE PART. THEY REPLIED AND SAID,"AFTER THOROUGHLY REVIEWING YOUR REQUEST AND THE FILES ON THIS MATTER, WE RESPECTFULLY CONCUR WITH THE DECISION RENDERED BY OUR SENIOR STAFF AND THAT THERE IS NO DEFECT ON THEIR BALL JOINTS. WATCHING THE CBS EVENING NEWS, I NOW FIND THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION BEING DONE BY THE NHTSA WITH THE DODGE DURANGO, AND THAT YOU ALSO CLAIM THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURING WITH THE DODGE DAKATO. IF THIS IS TRUE, WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP! *AK
