NHTSA Complaint #10212717 — 1995 LEXUS GS

I OWN A 1995 LEXUS GS300 THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON SUSPENSION FRONT ARM LOWER BALL JOINT FOR EVERY YEAR OF THE FIRST GENERATION GS300 1993-1997. SOMEHOW MY LEXUS GS300 DID NOT MAKE THE RECALL, BECAUSE MY VIN# DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE. 12/21/2007 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY DRIVERSIDE FRONT WHEEL SEPARATE AT THE BALL JOINT. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT HURT, AND I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS SITUATION. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST LEXUS DEALER, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO THE FRONT BALL JOINT ON MY VEHICLE. *TR
