Chysler Complaint - Bad Ball Joints

Complaint
Review by pattybug7119 on 2011-07-20
I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber I bought new. I now have 60,000 miles. Both front end ball joints have gone bad. I was told this is not normal for this to happen. I also been told that this is a problem with theses Calibers.

I'm not sure of the lifespan of ball joints, as I had to replace mine on my Oldsmobile at 90,000 miles. However, I don't believe Dodge has yet overcome their quality issues, so this is not surprising.

I really find this disappointing to hear. I had a '98 Dodge Dakota and had to replace the ball joints twice before it reached 60k. There was later a recall for ball joints on that model, but I had traded it in already and it didn't cover my year anyway. Chrysler just can't seem to get over the ball joint issue, whether they admit it or not.
