| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Front end felt loose on the right side and when braking there was heavy clunking noise. found a recall notice online and called my dealer. i was told to bring it in and have it checked. the dealer replaced the lower ball joints on both side stating that the right side was ready to break at any moment. the dealer also installed a heat shield between the front rotors and the ball joints. this was at approximately 32,000 miles. steering felt tight again and the clunk noise was gone. then at approximately 43,000 miles, the noise returned and again the steering felt loose on the right side. this time i bought an after market replacement part that is sold as a problem solver to replace the defective ball joint. these were installed by a non-dealer shop at approximately 45,000 miles. noise and loose feeling in the steering has went away. *nm |
