Was driving down wayne road when suddenly my car started slowing down everything seem to be working except the gas paddle. I had my feet on gas but it was not responding I quickly pulled to the right as it was hard to turn steering wheel. It was cars behind me and it was scary knowing someone could hit me . I called my husband and he came thought he could just give me a jump but he said its nothing wrong with battery. It looks like im not getting any gas. It wont turn over so he pushed me in the mall. Until I get off from work. I was blessed that it happen to do that on the day he was off because I just started a new job and I didn't need to miss a day as soon as I start working. I also read many similar complaints on this is. This should be taken care of and fast. I thank the lord for watching over me in trial moments.

I purchased a 2002 dodge durango in jauary of 2007. I have not had any problems with it until I noticed that the truck was pulling to the right. I took the truck to a local service center and they informed me that the upper and lower ball joints needed to be replaced. They also informed me that there had been a recall for the upper ball joints for chrysler. When I contacted the local dealer they told me that the recall had been performed on my truck in 2005. When I informed the service center that the recall had been done they were amazed to find that they ball joints had worn so quickly and the problem with the ball joints "still" presents very dangerous situation for dodge durango owners.

Dt: the contact's wife had an accident. She lost control while driving around a curve in the road. She heard a popping noise coming from the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle pulled to the right. She went off the road, hitting the side walk, blew the front right tire, and then hit a small embankment. The vehicle was towed to a body shop. The mechanic took the front right tire off, and the ball joint was broken. There was the federal safety agency recall 04v596000 on the ball joint, and it was replaced about one month ago.

I'm driving a 2002 dodge durango. My car pulled to the right, I got a tire rotation and now it's pulling to the left. I saw in the news that there is a problem with the front upper joint ball, so that could have something to do with my problem. The tires are fine.

Had a car length & 1/2 in front of me, I do this because I have had problems before with the car not stopping. Applied brakes normally, car slowed & pulled to the right but would not stop. Applied brakes with both feet - literally lifted myself up on the seat during applying of brakes & still would not stop. Rear ended car in front.
