Consumer Description

2001 LINCOLN LS HAS A RECALL NOTICE #00V359001 FOR FRONT BALL JOINTS NOT BEING TIGHTENED TO SPEC CAUSING FAILURE. MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE LISTED, HOWEVER THE BALL JOINTS FAILED CAUSING $1800 WORTH OF DAMAGE. I KNOW THAT MANUFACTURERS CAN NOT DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT CARS WERE EFFECTED AND WHAT CARS WERE NOT, SO TO EXCLUDE MY VEHICLE FROM THE REPAIR DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. WITH JUST 100,000 MILES ON A CAR THAT HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY A COUPLE IN THE MID 50'S THE BALL JOINTS SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED TO THE POINT WHERE THE SWAY BAR WAS ALSO DAMAGED. MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF I DID NOT FIX THE RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
