“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10102528, filed 2004-12, 70,000 miles“I have a 1999 Dodge durango with 55,000 miles. I took it to jerry's Dodge for a 4-wheel alignment and they told me that it couldn't be aligned because both the upper and the lower ball joints were shot. Also the vehicle needs tie rods. 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.”
NHTSA complaint #10102668, filed 2004-12, 55,400 miles“1999 durango v8 magnum 4 wheel drive ball joints: upper and lower needed to be replaced before the tires fall off and kill me or my passengers at the dealerships estimate of $1000.00.”
NHTSA complaint #10148498, filed 2006-01, 93,000 miles“I was driving my 1999 Dodge durango when I noticed my brand new front tires were wearing funny. I thought the alignment was bad, took it to get fixed, and found out it was all four of the front ball joints. Now there is a horrible shaking in the front end, and squeak. I was quoted close to $1000.00 to fix. I know this has been a very common problem among the 1999 year but the recall is only good for the 2000-2002. I do not have this kind of money to put into something that should be taken care of by the dealers.”
NHTSA complaint #10124464, filed 2005-06, 79,000 miles“I had my vehicle at the dealership last year and they recommended that I have the upper ball joints replaced. Thinking they were just trying to get more money out of me, I did not have the work done. I then heard about the recall of the 2000--- and thought mine should be included. It wasn't and I did not get a sufficient answer from chrysler as to why it wasn't. I wanted data which I found here on this site. Before taking my small children on a vacation in the truck, I am having the parts replaced by a private mechanic, whom I trust.”
