Dodge Dakota 2002 Complaint

Complaint about SUSPENSION : FRONT : CONTROL ARM : UPPER BALL JOINT

SALEM, NY

Consumer Complaint:
I OWN A 2002 DODGE DAKOTA PICKUP. AFTER HEARING AND READING CBS NEWS PIECE ON THE DURANGO AND DAKOTA HAVING FAULTY BALL JOINTS, I HAD MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER CHECK THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ON MY TRUCK. ONE UPPER JOINT WAS LOOSE AND THEY RECOMMENDED IT BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS $188. I FEEL SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 700 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FACT THAT DODGE HAS HAD SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND IT TOOK A CBS NEWS REPORT TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC IS TRAGIC. WHAT'S MORE TRAGIC IS THAT IT PUT THE LIFE OF MYSELF AND MY SON IN DANGER. I FEEL THAT DODGE SHOULD REIMBURSE MY $188. *JB
