I HAVE A 1998 DODGE DURANGO. I SAW REPORTS OF THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION OF DEFECTIVE UPPER BALL JOINTS FOR DURANGOS (1998-2003). I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND NOT ONLY WERE THE UPPER BALL JOINTS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, BUT THE LOWER AS WELL. I WAS PUT IN THE POSITION TO EITHER SPEND $760.00 OR RISK THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I PAID FOR THE WORK, HAVE A RECEIPT AND THE BALL JOINTS THAT THEY REPLACED. MY QUESTION IS, IF THERE IS A RECALL, WILL I BE REIMBURSED BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER FOR THE WORK THAT WAS DONE

PREMATURE WEAR OF BOTH UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ON MY 1998 DODGE DURANGO. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND SERVICED PERIODICALLY WANTED TO REPLACE THEM AFTER 36000 (HIGHWAY) MILES AT A COST OF $1200.00. TWO OTHER DODGE DEALERSHIPS HAVE SINCE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM.

CONSUMER STATED THAT SINCE OWNERSHIP, THE VEHICLE'S LOWER AND UPPER BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND ANOTHER SET NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. *PH
