Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: this is in reference to email correspondence i have had with dodge in reference to ball joint problems with my 1999 dodge durango. i have noticed the recall for 2000-2003 dodge durnago pickup trucks in reference to this problem, but was informed by dodge that nhtsa was performing an investigation into 1998 and 1999 dodge durangos as well. i found out after going to get my vehicle inspected by a midas shop for missouri state inspection that my ball joints were bad. my fear is that anyone with a vehicle previous to 2000 would get a false sense of security that their vehicle is safe. i have found via online groups and the midas store that fixed my car that this problem is prevelant in older durnago and dakota trucks. i am only writing this as an fyi to your organization that i own one of these vehicles and have experienced the same problems. thank you for your time and cooperation.*ak
