Description of the problem | I own a 1998 dodge durango slt with 75000 miles. The vehicle was pulling strong to the right. I took it into a repair shop in our town of 28000 people. They indicated that the upper and lower ball joints needed to be replaced. The repair shop indicated that this was the 4th durango they have had with this problem in the past couple months. The repair was $975. In addition, my employer has 25 durangos in their fleet and have discovered the same defective ball joints. There needs to be a recall on these durangos and reimbursement for the cost of repairs. *ak |
