Consumer Description
THE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE CAUSING THE FRAME AND WHEEL TO SEPARATE. THE FRAME FELL ONTO THE TIRE. THE RIM WAS SLICED COMPLETELY IN HALF. AND THE BRAND NEW TIRE WAS BUSTED. IT CAUSED US TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FEARED OF THE ROAD AND LANDED INA DITCH. WE HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK PICK UP THE VEHICLE. IT COST US 300 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE BROUGHT HOME. AFTER GETTING HOME WE FOUND OUT THE PIECE THAT BROKE, THE LOWER BALL JOINT, WAS PART OF THE JEEP RECALL IN 2006. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID ADMIT THAT PART WAS A RECALL FIX IN 2006. WE ARE NOW WAITING ON CHRYSLER TO CALL US BACK TO LET US KNOW WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO DO NEXT. WE ARE WITHOUT A VEHICLE.
