Largest Recall in History

WASHINGTON -- Bowing to pressure from federal safety regulators, DaimlerChrysler AG said Friday it is recalling 600,000 Dodge Durango SUVs and Dakota pickups because of a defect that can cause their wheels to fall off.


The recall affects four-wheel drive vehicles from the 2000-03 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommended the recall after a 16-month investigation revealed that the vehicles' upper ball joints could fail. If that happens, the suspension can collapse, and a wheel can fall off.

The dealer said repairs will range from about 900-1300 dollars.........for 600,000 cars

That's why I don't really like Mercedes anymore because of Chrysler.
