problem #1

Jan 302003

Avenger 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles
I recently had my front-end ball joints replaced on my 1998 Dodge Avenger at ken nelson auto plaza in dixon, il. This problem was a recall I had done already in may of 2001. Recall #967 from NHTSA. They were suppose to put newly designed lateral arm ball joints on my vehicle at that time. The "new" ball joints didn't last one year and 8 months. I was told I had to pay for the repair this time, for which I did. The cost was $312.60. I do not believe I should be paying for the material defects that were under the original recall work which failed in such a short time.
