Consumer Description

AT 80,000 MILES I HAD TO HAVE THE TRASMISSION REPLACED. AT THE TIME I INQUIRED ABOUT THE BALL JOINTS RECALL. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NO SUCH RECALL. 6 MONTHS LATER I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE OF A CLUNKING SOUND UNDER THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW DRIVE SHAFT, TRANSFER CASE AND BALL JOINTS FOR A TOTAL OF $3747.00! IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO FIX IT. HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM THE START.
