2000 DODGE DURANGO, WHEN MY CAR HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT, THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE BALL JOINTS. MY DURANGO NOW HAS 100,000+ MILES AND IT IS MAKING THE SAME POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT IT NEEDS NEW BALL JOINTS AGAIN. I FEEL DODGE REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS AS THE ORIGINAL PARTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE I WAS TOLD VIA E-MAIL THAT WARRANTY WAS ONLY UNTIL 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. THEY DID NOT COUNT ON OWNERS KEEPING THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I FEEL DODGE SHOULD STAND BEHIND. *JB

ON MY DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE AROUND 60,000 MILES ON IT. I TAKE REALLY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. MY EXISTING PROBLEM IS MY PASSENGER SIDE ELECTRICAL LOCK. I HAVE TO MANUALLY OPEN IT EVERY TIME, LOCK DOES NOT WORK AND MY BACK RIGHT HAND WINDOW DOES NOT OPEN. I HAD TO REPLACE THE LOCK ON MY PASSENGER SIDE ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS THEN WENT OUT AGAIN, PLUS AS THEY WERE FIXING THE PROBLEM THEY LEFT SCREW DRIVER PRINTS ON MY DOOR, WHICH REALLY UPSET ME. *JB
