(Washington-AP) Dec. 11, 2004 - Thousands who own Dodge Durangos and Dodge Dakota pickups will have to go back to dealer in the near future.
Daimler Chrysler is bowing to government pressure and ordering a massive recall. It involves 600,000 Dodge Durango SUV's and Dakota pickup trucks from model years 2000 through 2003. The vehicles have a defect that can cause their wheels to fall off.
The firm is also recalling nearly 72,000 2004 Durangos. The government says a cable problem could cause an engine fire.
Chrysler Group spokesman Max Gates has said the company acknowledges a ball joint problem with those vehicles, but had denied a recall was needed.

did I mention I sell Chevy's to any of you "disappearing wheel Dodge" crowd?
Fords got a big recall right now too.. can't think of what it is..
Chevy does also though.. those little cables that go between the bed, and the tailgate.. they are replacing most of those because they were bad to rust...
not quite as dramatic as a lost wheel but hey.. haha. which problem would you rather have?

Wheel fall off, or WFO throttle?
Which do you choose?
Dodge, and Ford . . . suck. It's that simple.
Ford expands recall of small SUVs to 600,000
Automaker cites accelerator problems with Escapes, Mazda Tributes
Updated: 12:23 p.m. ET Dec. 13, 2004DETROIT - Ford Motor Company has expanded its recall of Escape and Mazda Tribute SUVs to nearly 600,000 vehicles, according to the automaker and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The small sport utility vehicles involved in the recall, first announced on Friday, include 474,000 Escapes and 121,000 Mazda Tributes from the 2002-2004 model years. Ford owns one-third of Mazda Motor Corp.
Ford originally said it was recalling 474,000 vehicles because an accelerator cable may prevent their engines from returning to idle, increasing stopping distances and potentially resulting in a crash.
A majority of the vehicles are in the United States, according to NHTSA’s Web site on Monday.
Detroit’s automakers have claimed dramatic quality improvements in recent years, but they continue to be hit by a relatively high number of vehicle recalls.

Screw all you hosers! I love my 99' Durango and have had to replace the upper ball joints already, although my wheel did not fall off. I caught it during regular maintenance. It doesn't state 99' model year but you can bet I will be visiting them with my repair bill!

2000-2004 Durango upper ball joints suck!
The upper ball joints I replaced mine with now have zerk fittings so you can grease them, the factory ones did not. The lower factory joints have zerks though. Some mathmetician somewhere tryin to save a couple of bucks when they built it and just cost the company 40 million $.
