| 1999 | STEERING | I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DAKOTA. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS IN THE BALL JOINTS AS 2000 AND UP VEHILCLES THAT WERE RECALLED. I DO FALL OUT OF THE GUIDE LINES OG THE RECALL MANUFACTOR DATES, THIS TRUCK HAS MANUFACTOR DATE OF 8-98 LAST 8 OF VIN#XS128563. I FEEL THAT I AM CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE DATES OF RECALL AND THE BALL JOINTS USED ON MY TRUCK ARE THE SAME DEFECTIVE ONE USED ON THE RECALLED TRUCKS , AND SHOULKD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE MY UNSAFE TRUCK FIXED . *AK |
