| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have recently have had suspension issues with my 1999 dodge dakota ext. cab pickup with 69,600 miles. . i have been the original owner since new. i experienced shaking, noises during corning, etc. coming from the front end of vehicle. i then took it to an alignment shop and they informed me that my lower ball joints were bad and could separate and cause an accident. i did some internet research and found numerous websites that included notables of other individuals with the same issues. i also found that other dodge dakota models have had ball joint recalls. this didn't include my year of truck. i wanted to file a complaint so that i can be included in this ongoing investigation regarding ball joint issues with the 1999 dodge dakota 2 wheel drive ext. cab vehicles. i have not replaced the faulty ball joints as of yet. the vehicle is not currently in use. thank you, brent owens. *nm |
