Description of the problem | I have a 1998 dodge durango (vin #[xxx]) and have had a continuous problem with the front suspension and ball joints. I have had the problem looked at twice (once at the local dealer and once at an independent site.) i am on my third set of front tires and only have 64,000 miles on it. The ride is very bumpy. I am concerned that there is a epidemic problem that is not being corrected or taken seriously by my dodge dealer. I consider this a safety issue.*ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
