Driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a crash.

i got mine yesterday. i'm not too worried about mine though. after what they've been through and haven't stopped i'm feeling safe. but it'll only take the dealer about 30 min. to fix it and my next service is this week, so no biggie.

I don't know about you, but it makes me mad that they would bother with a recall for windshield wipers, but they still won't take responsibility for the ball joint issue that's much more likely to get someone killed. How many accidents and CBS evening news pieces does it take???? As a resonable person, and a once loyal dodge fan, I'm really having a hard time with the money mongering, anything to make a buck, company dodge has become. I used to love my 2000 Quad Cab, but if a company is willing to risk the lives of my family for a few bucks... well, maybe it's time to start boycotting dodge. I have been a dodge fan for decades and a Quad cab owner for 3yrs, but I'm starting to think it's time to realize what dodge has become...

If you've really been a Dodge fan for decades, you might remember that during the muscle car era, Mopar used to break the zerk fittings off at the factory and promote their product as requiring less service. Result - they had a reputation for front end problems back then, too. Ford has a reputation for bad transmissions and quality control; GM has a reputation for other problems (loose motor tolerances, bad rear ends, etc.) - everything out there has an achilles heel. I don't feel unsafe myself; loose ball joints give warning signs (tire wear, loose steering feel). Its not like the early (mid '60s) A body cars that had underengineered ball joints that would just snap. It would still be nice if they'd recognize the problem and give us greasable ball joints though.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way
