| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Daimler/chrysler did a recall on the upper ball joints on some dodge durangos. i have had my ball joints replaced two times, the first time was the summer of 2004, before the recall happened, then again in dec 2004 when the recall was announced. to my understanding when you replace ball joints upper & lower should be replace together because they are one component as with the control arms also. as an result of not being replaced at the same time it caused damage to my suv. i am going to dispute this with the makers of the dodge durango, because these components work together,one going bad causes the other ones to go bad also, they should have repaired the unit correctly instead of taking the cheap way out. i was told by an repair shop that when the dealer replaced the ball joints they also should repaired the control arms, which did not happen. the dealer wants to charge me for something that they should have done i the first place. i am very disappointed with the makers of this suv. *jb |
