I own a 1999 Dodge Durango with approximately 64,000 miles. Immediately upon purchasing the vehichle I have experienced a large poping and dragging sound when turning or performing a U-turn. Recently I attempted to make a U-turn and my car nearly lost control and felt as if it would tip over. I took the vehicle in to cerritos Dodge and I was advised that the vehichles upper and lower, right and left ball joints were completely shot. All were replaced. I continue to experience the popping and dragging sounds. Upon purchasing the vehichle, I have had to change the (all four) tires 3 times, obtain 3 wheel alignments, change the battery (went completely dead at approximately 25,000 miles) repair the brake light switch (brake lights wouldn't turn off), and repair door/hatch locks (unable to lock and make loud buzzing and clicking sound).
Battery exploded upon starting vehicle, dealer was notified, and unwilling to assist in this matter. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.

My car started making these loud noises like a truck, I took it to the dealer and they told me that it was the barons, and that it was caused by not putting oil in the car or racing it. They told me that it was not under warranty and that it will cost $4000 to have it fixed. I have my oil change every 3 months, and I go to baltimore, md and Washington DC about twice a week. They will not fix it.
