Consumer Description

I HAVE A 200 GMC JIMMY PURCHASED IN OCTOBER OF 2003. AT THAT TIME IT HAD 32,000 MILES ON IT. AT 42,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS. IT CURRENTLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND THE LOWER BALL JOINTS HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I LEARNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN SEEKING A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINTS HAD ALSO BEEN REPLACED AT 23,000 MILES. I CONTACTED GM AND ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS FULLY BUT WAS GIVEN A 50/50 SPLIT. SO WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IN ABOUT 30,00 MILES? *JB
