Consumer Description

HEARD SOME KIND OF POP, THEN SOME GRINDING WHEN HOLDING THE BRAKE DOWN AND TURNING THE WHEEL. TOOK CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC. THEY FOUND ALL 4 BALL JOINTS BOOTS PERFORATED & HANDED ME A RECALL NOTICE FOR LOWER BALL JOINTS ONLY THAT WAS FROM SEPT. 2006. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JAN. 2006 & NEVER REC'D THIS RECALL. EVEN WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR THE FUEL TANK RECALL ON 7/11/15, THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY ME OF IT. I WENT ON MOPAROWNERCONNECT.COM & IT SHOWS THIS RECALL AS REPAIRED, WHICH OBVIOUSLY ISN'T POSSIBLE. ACCORDING TO AUDOMD.COM THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES RELATED TO THIS VEHICLE THROUGH DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS. I HAVE AN APPT. SET UP AT THE DEALER NEXT WEEK & DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT FIXING ALL THE BALL JOINTS AND CHECKING FOR OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS, I MAY BE SENDING IN ANOTHER COMPLAINT.
