Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2003 dodge dakota on 02/01/2003. since i have had this vehicle i hear a metalic popping noise when i turn sharply. i was told by the dealer that the noise is probably my spare tire lock but even if i secure the lock the noise continues. because of the recent news stories about a possible recall i'm concerned that the noise i am hearing may be from the ball-joint defect that is being scrutinized.*ak
