Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought my 1998 dodge durango from a small used car lot. when i got it home and had it checked out by my mechanic they told me i had to replace the ball joints and that it was unsafe to drive. that was $1000+. after finding out that this was also a problem in the later models but that they were being recalled, i thought it should be brought to someone's attention. *jb
