Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 1997 ford crown victoria. i was pulling out of a parking spot in a mini mall when the front right tire fell off my vehicle. it turns out that the ball joint had snapped. had this happened 10 minutes earlier, i would have been seriously hurt as i was driving on the new jersey turnpike doing 65 mph. it has come to my attention that this has happened on other ford products as well and as such i think that your agency is responsible. in addition, a previous letter to this defect was submitted, but i have not had any reply. *jb
