Durango 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
40,000 miles and the ball joints are completely worn out. Also had to put a new steering rack on. Ball joints make popping sound and steering is jumpy causing the vehicle to veer in unpredictable directions. Chrysler won't stand behind and wants $$$ to fix. Doesn't seem that ball joints should wear so quickly.

Lost control of 2001 Dodge Durango on broken arrow expressway between harvard and lewis, heading West there has been several times that this has happened, not all at the same location. I feel there is a problem with my Dodge, and the road at this location is extremely bad. I called the highway dept. Left a message but never heard back.
