1999 Dodge Van Conversion Van review from North America
"Not as good as the older models"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ball joints are failing after only 28000 miles and the grease fittings to the ball joints and tie rod ends have now clogged as well (I have had a service on the suspension every time the oil has been changed). The last time I was told that they could not add grease to the passenger side lower ball joint and driver's side tie rod end.
I had the van in for a front end alignment and was told that they could not do the alignment until I had the ball joints replaced.
General comments?
I have had two other Dodge Vans without problems. I am now completely disappointed with the current one I have. It will be the last Dodge I ever purchase.
