On Dec 10 I was driving well below the posted speed limit of 35 mph. With all the chirstmas traffic and the light rain falling I was being what I thought extremely careful. The vehicle in front of me was at least 5 car links ahead. When that vehicle applied their brakes I immediately appllied mine and nothing happened. I tried to steer to the right to go around the vehicle which at this time had stopped in front of me and again nothing happened. Even though the tires turned my 2003 Durango would not follow. I slammed into the back of the vehicle in front of me. Since I am a widow with 3 children one of which is handicapped I only collect social security. Now my 2003 Durango is sitting in my drive way and I am unable to drive it. Also the ball joints I am having trouble with prior to the accident just like everybody else. I think Dodge owes me to repair my vehicle from the accident and also the ball joints at no charge. I can not believe they would put unsafe vehicles on the road. They should step up to bat and show some true customer service.

Had the ball joints replaced on a 2003 Dodge durgano and brake pads replaced and truck is still riding and handling badly. Dealers do not take the problem serious. What can I do.
