Consumer Description

I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ON HIS WAY TO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE COULDN'T STEER. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE JUST TURNED IN SIDEWAYS AND WOULDN'T MOVE WITH ANY MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WE JACKED UP THE CAR TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND WE SAW THE ARM WITH THE BALL JOINT WAS COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE SOCKET. BY THE LOOKS OF IT, THE CRACK IS NEAR THE RETAINING RING GROOVE. WE CAN MANUALLY MOVE THE TIRE AS IT IS COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM. I WAS VERY UPSET WITH THIS AND THE FACT I WASN'T NOTIFIED THIS WAS AN ISSUE. NOT ONLY COULD MY LIFE HAVE BEEN IN DANGER BUT ALSO MY NEPHEW WHO I LET USE THE CAR AND ALL OF THOSE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADS EVERYDAY. AN ISSUE LIKE THIS WOULD FOR SURE CAUSE A FATALITY AT A FAST SPEED AS I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE DAILY WITH MY TWIN GIRLS. THIS ISSUE BEST BE FIXED AND MORE NOTIFICATION IS REQUESTED ON ANY OTHER ISSUES PERTAINING TO MY CAR! IF ITS NOT A RECALL, MAKE IT A RECALL! VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!
