Constant Velocity Joint Problems of Dodge Durango

I had been experiencing vibration throughout vehicle while driving so I took to our mechanic. Had to replace all four ball joints and u-joint and get an alignment. I now have a lot of play in the steering , and am constantly correcting it just to go straight. Had looked at again and they could not find any problems. I found out that the ball joints had been recalled for years 2000-2003 ,but why not 1999??.

Consumer has stated that since she has owned the vehicle all lower ball joints have been replaced once. At this time, all upper ball joints and cv boots need to be replaced as well.

Pinion shaft snapped off, causing rear tires to lock up and cause a skid. Also drive shaft seperated from the rear end and slammed on the ground. The car was going about 20 mph. If we were going at highway speed the car probably would have been uncontrollable as the rear tires were instantly locked. Very dangerous situation. .

Spoke to dealer about failure and he claimed this is normal. I do not believe the joints should fail at 37000 to 38000 miles.
