Description of the problem | 1998 dodge durango - i purchased a 1998 dodge durango from branfoird dodge 2 years ago. The dosge had 50,000 miles and now has 71,500 miles. The upper and lower ball joints are bad and the control arms and joints need to be replaced. I have been in contact with dodge since the investigation was in place about this issue. Dodge is telling me that only the 2000-2003 models are covered under the recall and my truck is out of warranty! Why wouldn't the 1998 & 1999 be covered as well seeing that there have been several issues and accidents with pictures due to ball joint failure on the 1999 & 1998 durangos. Who do i call and for assistance on this problem that has a bill of over $1,000 dollars. Please reply with attorneys involved with matters such as this one.
