| 1998 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT | I HAVE A 98 DODGE DURANGO AND SAW RECENTLY ABOUT BALL JOINT FAILURES, I HAVE HAD BALL JOINTS REPLACED ONCE (40000) AND NOW NEED THEM REPLACED AGAIN (74000 MILES). I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH BALL JOINT PROBLEMS ON THEIR DURANGO'S THAT I HAVE THEM CHECKED ON A REGULAR BASIS. I WAS TOLD AT MORE THEN ONE AUTOMOTIVE SHOP ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE BALL JOINTS ON DURANGO'S, INCLUDING A DODGE DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE MORE PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM THAN IS REALIZED, ONLY THEY DONT KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. WHY LET THEM FIND THE HARD WAY? I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF WHEELS FALLING OFF. IS THERE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO BE INJURED BEFORE DODGE IS FORCED INTO A RECALL. ONE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT IS NOT SO. |
| 2007 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | UPON NORMAL FUELING OF THE VEHICLE, GAS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY EXPEL FROM FUEL INLET WHEN THE GAS STATION FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS CAUSES DANGEROUS FUEL TO BE IN CONTACT WITH PEOPLE, VEHICLE, OBJECTS AND GROUND AT FUEL STATION. THIS IS A CONDITION THAT WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE OWNER OR FROM NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS OBVIOUS FUELING DEFECT IS CAUSE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC CONCERN FOR MANY REASONS; EXCESSIVE SKIN CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS, THREAT OF MAJOR FIRE OR EXPLOSION THAT COULD INJURE, HARM OR KILL INDIVIDUALS AND IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD TO THE COMMUNITY. *KB |
