DT: THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2005. THE VEHICLE HIT A POT HOLE AND HEARD SOMETHING POP. THE BOLTS OF THE CONTROL ARM CAME OFF. SHE TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING KNUCKLE. THERE WAS A SECOND ACCIDENT ON OCTOBER 19, 2005. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, NOT HITTING ANYTHING, THE CONTROL ARM DISCONNECTED AND THE WHEEL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAVED IN. SHE TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS THE CONTROL ARM THAT WAS DISCONNECTED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES DURING THE ACCIDENTS, AND THE PASSENGERS WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS. THE DEALERSHIP RAN THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE CONTACT HAS NOT CONTACTED MANUFACTURER.*AK
TURNED STERRING WHEEL TO CHANGE LANES. LEFT FRONT BALLJOINT SNAPPED INTO CAUSING LEFT FRONT WHEEL TO TURN SIDEWAYS WHICH CAUSED LOSS OF STEERING RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE CAUSING VEHICLE TO SPIN INTO AND JUMP GUARDRAIL CAUSING NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF DAMAGE.THERE WAS A RECALL IN DEC. OF 2000 TO CHECH TORQUE OF BALLJOINTS WHICH I HAD COMPLETED THE SAME MONTH. I WAS DEFINITLY LUCKY I DID NOT GET KILLED AS I ENDED UP ACROSS TWO LANES OF I75 .I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL BODYSHOP MANAGERS AND THEY EACH HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTENCES OF THE BALLJOINTS SNAPPING OFF ON THESE VEHICLES. THERE SEEMS TO BE STRUCTURAL DEFECT HERE THAT LINCOLN KNOWS ABOUT,BUT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO CORRECT.
