Today I am having my upper ball joints replaced on my 1999 Dodge Durango with 56000 miles. My mechanic found the problem during a routine oil change and said they were severely worn. That night I saw the report on cbs news. Add this to the file on the Durango. Thankfully we caught this before there was an accident.

When my husband took my 1999 Durango 4X4 in for maintenance on the transmission the mechanic stated that the front left upper ball joint was in need of replacement. This was at a Dodge dealer and at no time did the mechanic give any indication that this was an ongoing problem with the Durangos. When I saw the report on cbs news I then realized that my Durango was not safe to drive. I have scheduled to have the ball joints replaced because I can't wait for Chrysler to issue a recall and risk the safety of my family.
