I OWN A 2000 DODGE DURANGO. IT IS NOT A 4X4 AND AS A RESULT IS NOT A PART OF THE RECENT UPPER BALL JOINT RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS 66,000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT TIRES TWO TIMES DUE TO UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. THE LAST TIME I REPLACED THE TIRES, LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, I HAD A FRON END ALIGNMENT DONE. THE THIRD SET OF TIRES IS NOW ALSO WEARING UNEVENLY. I AM ALSO HEARING A LOUD RATTLING NOISE THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OR FRONT DOOR PASSENGER SIDE AREA. I DON'T KNWO IF THIS IS RELATED. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WILL ONLY CONSIDER REPARING THE VEHICLE UNDER RECALL IF IT IS A 4X4. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE FRONT END PROBLEM INSPECTED AND CORRECTED AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE RE-IMBURSED FOR AT LEAST THE LAST TWO FRONT TIRES I PURCHASED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2000, BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM UNTIL I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL.*AK
