Consumer Description

MY COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO A SERIOUS DEFECT/CRASH HAZARD IN SUSPENSION: FRONT:CONTROL ARM: LOWER BALL JOINT DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED (ID 00V421002, DEC 15, 2000) LAST WEEK MY DAUGHTER HAD JUST GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND HER RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT BROKE COMPLETELY OFF WITH NO WARNING OR SIGN OF WEAR. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE AXLE TO PULL AWAY COMPLETELY. I GOT THE CAR FIXED, AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE LEFT SIDE LET GO TODAY, AGAIN JUST AS SHE GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE ON HER WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL. A YEAR AGO OR SO WE HAD THEM CHECKED BECAUSE OF THE RECALL AND THEY SAID THEY WERE OK. I THINK THEY WERE DEFECTIVE FROM THE START. BALL JOINTS SHOULD NOT HAVE A TRAUMATIC FAILURE LIKE THIS WITH NO WARNING OR SIGN OF WEAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT. I ALSO FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY COSTS WHICH HAVE NOW TOTALED ABOUT $800. PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS MATTER AND LET ME KNOW WHO ELSE I SHOULD BE TALKING TO. I AM NOT GOING TO LET THIS ONE SLIDE BY. *JB
