Description of the problem | 1998 dodge durango slt v-8, front tire just about fell off while driving, ball joint problem of course. We have 5 children and i thank god they were not in the car. I have seen so many of these complaints, what is the problem , why is there no recall yet. Does there have to be death involved before something is done. These u. S . Car dealers want our business but they wont stand behind their product, its no wonder everyone seems to be buying imports. There repair parts may cost alittle more, but these cars seem to be more reliable. I have owned an import and had great luck with it. In fact it still runs and its a 1992. Obviously chrysler needs to start doing something about these complaints, please we trusted this company enough to buy this $$$$$$ truck , and would buy another, but not if you wont stand behind the product. Maybe we should try a ford, alot of people seem to like them. |
