The upper suspension arm on my 1999 Dodge Dakota sport (5. 2l manual transmission) rapt a hole in the front left brake hose, causing total braking failure. This failure happened in a parking lot on the georgia institute of technology campus.
Ball joints on 1999 Dodge Dakota. I have already replaced one and need to replace the other. My model year is not being recalled despite the fact that the exact same manufacturer of the ball joint and the same design was used on it, as it is on the 2000-2004 that is included in the recall. In addition, you have recommended only recalling the 4x4 models, but 4x2 models also suffer from this problem. Who paid you guys to not include our model year. You are a disgrace. I am outraged.
The consumer experienced problems with the upper ball joints as well as having to replace the upper control arms on both sides. The owner took the vehicle to the dealer and had the services performed. Provide further details.
