1995 LEXUS GS300 Suspension Problems

AS I PULLED UP AND MADE A LEFT TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT MY PARENT'S HOUSE, I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THE CAR DROPPED TO THE GROUND AND COULD NOT BE MOVED AND SO IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RESIDENTIAL STREET. I CAME OUT AND FOUND THAT IT WAS MY LOWER BALL JOINT AND IT HAD BROKE OFF THE ROD WAS ACTUALLY SHEARED OFF FROM THE JOINT. I HAVE THE CONTROL JOINT THAT WAS BROKEN. LEXUS SAYS THAT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BUT I DISAGREE AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HAD THIS BROKE OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN BIG TROUBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 LEXUS GS300. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, HE WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. AFTER INSPECTION, HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:99V125000 ( SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT). THE VEHICLE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,544.
