Description of the problem	The vehicle with approx 120000 miles on it in 11/2015 had the passenger side and drivers side ball joints replaced. In 4/2016 the passenger side ball joint failed and pulled out of the steering knuckle as i backed out of my driveway, i had it replaced. Two weeks later the driver side ball joint pulled out as i made a right hand turn into a walmart parking lot. The failure caused my strut to be bent, the inner and outer tie rods to be twisted around the half shaft drive axle, and the drive axle to be pulled out of the transmission. My lower control arm needed to be replaced as well. Luckily most of the damage was covered under my insurance. If it had happened on the highway i'd have needed a casket and an undertaker as well! Yesterday i went to get an alignment done - and to check as to what was making a clunking sound under the front end - i was told i need a new passenger side lower control arm, inner and outer tie rod ends and a new lower ball joint... Yet again! The third ball joint in two years!!! This auto i bought used for $8k is turning out to cost me twice that amount in repairs. I have not done a "carfax" on this vehicle to determine how many times the front end suspension items were replaced prior my purchase of this vehicle. However, having owned this car for only a year and a half, it has been in the shop nearly every two months for critical structural, or engine repairs. Why has there not been a safety recall on this vehicle ?!?! This car is a lemon!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
