Consumer Description

FAILURE OF UPPER BALL JOINT LET SIDE ON 2-27-09, TWO DAYS AFTER THE LOWER BALL JOINT ON SAME SIDE WAS REPLACED AS PER RECALL. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LOWER BALL JOINT WAS THE FOURTH SUCH REPLACEMENT. I INITIATED THE REPAIR TWO DAYS EARLIER AFTER THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. THE LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING IN REVERSE AT LOW SPEED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THE FAILURE OF THE UPPER BALL JOINT HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AFTER TRAVELING AT 70 MPH DOWN AN INTERSTATE. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, I PULLED THE JEEP INTO A PARKING LOT OF A CONVENIENCE TO CHECK DIRECTIONS AND THEN PULLED OUT AT LOW SPEED - LESS THAN 10 MPH. IT FAILED. *TR
