| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Premature wear on upper and lower ball joints on both sides of vehicle. the separation of these components cause the driver to lose control of the steering and could cause the vehicle to roll over causing serious injury or death. in addition to the ball joints, the wheel bearing assemblies fail prematurely which in combination with the ball joint problem greatly increases loss of control of the vehicle. this vehicle also has a problem with the transmission slipping with less than 70,000 miles on it. this causes slow acceleration which could cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death. *nm |
