ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4X4), IF MOISTURE LEAKS INTO THE FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER BALL JOINT, EVACUATION OF THE LUBRICANT AND CORROSION OF THE JOINT MAY CAUSE THE JOINT TO WEAR OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THIS COULD CAUSE A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION, WHICH MAY NOT ALWAYS BE HEARD BY THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.
EXCESSIVE WEAR IN THE UPPER BALL JOINT MAY ALLOW IT TO SEPARATE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER BALL JOINTS. THIS SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BEGAN ON DECEMBER 21, 2004. OWNERS CAN CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM DAIMLERCHRYSLER FOR THE UPPER BALL JOINTS IN MY 2000 DODGE DURANGO. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY TO FIND OUT HOW TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED AS THERE IS NO DEALERSHIP WHERE I LIVE. I LET THEM KNOW I LIVED IN KETCHIKAN, ALASKA. THE WOMAN I SPOKE WITH TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE JUNEAU DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS THE CLOSEST TO ME. I CONTACTED THE JUNEAU DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THAT HE COULD SEND ME THE PARTS FROM JUNEAU AND I COULD HAVE THE LABOR DONE IN KETCHIKAN, SENDING HIM THE BILL FOR THE LABOR, WHICH I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR AN ALLOTTED AMOUNT OF MONEY. I AGREED, BUT HE NEEDED TO FIND OUT IF HE COULD SEND ME BOTH BALL JOINTS, AS I HAD ONE BALL JOINT REPLACED IN AUGUST OF 2004, WITHOUT BEING REIMBURSED BY DAIMLERCHRYSLER. TODAY, AUGUST 1, 2005, THE GENTLEMAN FROM THE JUNEAU DEALERSHIP CALLED TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE BOTH BALL JOINTS REPLACED, BUT THAT HE COULD NO LONGER SEND ME THE PARTS BECAUSE DAIMLERCHRYSLER HAD CONTACTED HIM AND NOW PROHIBITED HIM FROM DOING RECALLS IN THIS FASHION AS IT WAS DEEMED FRAUDULENT. I DIRECTLY CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER AND SPOKE WITH THE SUPERVISOR "KATHERINE" WHO STATED THAT I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO SEATTLE OR JUNEAU TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL OR THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX IT. I TOLD HER I LIVED ON AN ISLAND AND COULD NOT AFFORD TO PAY THE FERRY FEE TO DO THAT OR GO WITHOUT ANY TRANSPORTATION FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. SHE SAID THEY COULD NOT COMPENSATE ME FOR TRANSPORTATION AS IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MY LIVING ON AN ISLAND, BUT THAT I HAD TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOLD HER I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO PAY FOR MY VEHICLE BEING TRANSPORTED, I JUST WANTED THEM TO SEND THE PARTS AS I HAD BEEN TOLD WOULD HAPPEN SO I COULD HAVE IT FIXED. SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD NO AUTHORITY TO OVERRIDE THE DECISION ABOUT THE JUNEAU DEALERSHIP. *NM

DAIMLER/CHRYSLER DID A RECALL ON THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ON SOME DODGE DURANGOS. I HAVE HAD MY BALL JOINTS REPLACED TWO TIMES, THE FIRST TIME WAS THE SUMMER OF 2004, BEFORE THE RECALL HAPPENED, THEN AGAIN IN DEC 2004 WHEN THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. TO MY UNDERSTANDING WHEN YOU REPLACE BALL JOINTS UPPER & LOWER SHOULD BE REPLACE TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE COMPONENT AS WITH THE CONTROL ARMS ALSO. AS AN RESULT OF NOT BEING REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY SUV. I AM GOING TO DISPUTE THIS WITH THE MAKERS OF THE DODGE DURANGO, BECAUSE THESE COMPONENTS WORK TOGETHER,ONE GOING BAD CAUSES THE OTHER ONES TO GO BAD ALSO, THEY SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED THE UNIT CORRECTLY INSTEAD OF TAKING THE CHEAP WAY OUT. I WAS TOLD BY AN REPAIR SHOP THAT WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS THEY ALSO SHOULD REPAIRED THE CONTROL ARMS, WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE I THE FIRST PLACE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE MAKERS OF THIS SUV. *JB

EXCESSIVE LOWER BALL JOINT WEAR I RECENTLY HAD THE UPPER BALL JOINT REPLACED THROUGH A RECALL WITH DODGE. DURING THE STATES ANNUAL INSPECTION THE LOWER BALL JOINT SHOWED EXCESSIVE WEAR AND FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT AND NEARLY ALL ON PAVED ROADS. THE CONDITION THAT SUPPOSEDLY CAUSED THE RECALL FOR THE UPPER BALL JOINT IS THE SAME FOUND IN THE LOWER BALL JOINT. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS NO GREASE FITTING TO ALLOW FOR GREASE TO BE ADDED AS NECESSARY.
