Description of the problem | 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 |
