Consumer Description

MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS HAS BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH STEERING/PULLING. THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT WERE FOUND TO BE EXCESSIVELY LOOSE/WORN AT 43,000 MILES. THE BALL JOINT WAS PREVIOUS REPLACED PRIOR TO 24,000 MILES. THIS PART HAS NOW BEEN RECALLED ON 2018 MODELS BUT NOT 2017. THE NEED FOR TWO SUCH REPLACEMENTS ON A CAR WITH 43,000 MILES IS TERRIFYING AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.
