1998
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
MY 1998 DODGE DAKOTA 4X4 5.2L CLUB CAB TRUCK HAD THE FRONT BALL JOINTS FAIL ON ME. I KNOW THERE IS NOW A RECALL FOR 2000 TO CURRENT MODELS, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 98? IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE 89000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. *JB
2003
SUSPENSION
WHILE TRAVELING OVER A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE ALONG WITH THE UPPER BALL JOINTS SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO TEMPORARY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM RELATING TO THIS VEHICLE I FOUND ABOUT THE RECALL. HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. *TR
