Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 LINCOLN LS V8. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS POPPING AT THE BALL JOINT ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION OF THE CAR.. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH IT BECAUSE HE HAD FOUND OUT THAT THOSE PARTICULAR YEAR MODEL CARS HAD A RECALL FOR THE SUSPENSION BALL JOINTS. I WENT HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND CAME TO A SITE CALLED NHTSA. I GOT ON THE NHTSA DATABASE AND IT CLEARLY SHOWS: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 00V359001 COMPONENT: SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE AND IT IS NOW 2012. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THIS PARTICULAR CAR WAS BEING RECALLED. I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND WANTED TO SEE IF THE RECALL IS HONORED CURRENTLY. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY OF PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN RUN THE VIN NUMBER TO SEE IF ANY RECALL SERVICE WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO MY CAR.. THIS CAR GETS ME TO AND FROM WORK AND MAKES ME A LIVING. I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE ITS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE ALSO READ ON FORUMS THAT THE BALL JOINT SUPPORTS THE ENTIRE WEIGHT OF THE CAR AND IF IT WOULD TO SNAP, IT WILL CAUSE GREAT HARM OR EVEN DEATH. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ON THIS MATTER PLEASE, IT SCARES ME. *TR
