1 Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2003

I recently purchased a used 1999 Dodge Durango slt 4wd with 49000. When the abs light came on in the vehicle I had it checked and determined it was a speed sensor in the transmission. The dealer replaced this. The dealer also advised the front brakes needed immediate replacement. I took the vehicle to a local meineke shop to have the brakes replaced and the manager advised me the brakes had 70% of the pad left but the driver's side front lower ball joint was bad and needed immediate replacement. He recommended the vehicle not be driven for safety concerns. I had meineke replace the ball joint. I wrote the gm of the dealership and advised him of what had occured to try and determine why I was told my brakes were bad and the ball joint problem was not mentioned. I saw a greater danger in the front wheel falling off than the brakes not stopping the vehicle as effectively. I have yet to receive a reply regarding this issue.
