Description of the problem	Last summer, i had to have my front outer tie rod ends replaced at 65,000 miles. At that time i had new brake pads installed. A few months later, i started getting vibration in the steering wheel upon braking and i also was told i had uneven tire wear. I took it to the local chrysler/jeep dealer; they alligned it. They never told me that the steering vibration may be caused by bad ball joints. The steering problem didn't entirely go away after the allignment; it steadily got worse. I finally took it to an indpependent mechanic yesterday and they told me i need new ball joints and control arms in the front. I also need one new rotor and the other rotor turned. (this is after i had new brake pads installed about eight months ago and the rotors were fine at that time). I was quoted $663. 56 for this work that included another allignment. I have had to replace 50,000 mile tires once at $600. 00 and two more times on the front at about $350. 00 each time. The vehicle has about 107,000 miles on it today. My complaints are 1). I drive with a two year old in the car frequently. This is a blatant safety risk that jeep is doing nothing about. There are multiple complaints and this should have been a safety recall. And 2)., the money that i've had to spend on this car-replacing front brake pads, new rotors, ball joints, control arms, tie rod ends and tires is ridiculous. I don't have much faith in the dealership since they didn't idenitify the ball joint problem when they should have. I may never buy another jeep product and i will certainly tell anyone that asks the experience that i have had with this car.

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.
