Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Relating to nhtsa action number : ea03023: i own a 1998 durango with the exact same conditions. i have spent $1000 to fix one side of the front end (hub assembly, ball joints, control arms, tie rod ends - it all had to be replaced) and need to come up with another $1000 to fix everything on the other side. why is the recall only for 2000-2003 model years? the problem is reported for model years 98 and 99 - my search on the nhtsa website was for 1998 model year issues and this issue is listed as a problem for 1998, although most complaints seem to come from my 2000-2003 owners, that's not a reason to not fix the same exact problem that affects my model year.*ak
