September 13, 2001 my husband curtis joyner was killed in a crash in hernando, ms due to poor wheel base structure and poor wheel balance structure of durango's of handling curves, was stated by accident reconstructing crew that's what caused the vehicle to rollover in curves. I hired attorney mcgraw of olivebranch, ms; who later stated he did not have the time to put into this matter, but was certainly a good case. I emailed dateline regarding this matter also.
2000 dodge durango 35,000 miles. Drivers front upper & lower ball joints had to be replaced. Several mechanics looked at them and stated they were dangerous and would not inspect vehicle. Dodge dealership brushed it off saying they were within guidelines. We paid to have them replaced ourselves.
