Consumer Description

I WENT IN TO A MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THIS NOISE WAS IN MY FRONT END, HE TOLD ME MY BALL JOINTS WERE BAD AND ONE WAS REACHING CRITICAL TO FAIL. I CALL MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS PART WAS WELL KNOWN TO FAIL BETWEEN 40K AND 80K MILES. I WAS WONDERING IF CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS PART IS FAILING ON VEHICLES WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL OR EVEN AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PART. I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES WITH WELL OVER 200K MILES ON THEM AND HAVEN'T HAD BALL JOINT PROBLEMS. *TT
