Description of the problem	Ball joints needed to be replaced.... I purchased 4 brand new tires around the end of 2012. The front two tires were so bad due to the ball joint/bearings i had to purchase two new front tires in april 2014. That's when i actually noticed it. I'm sure they needed replacement sooner than that. I was told both ball bearings and something called a hub barring to both the left and right wheel were so bad they were surprised i made it this long without the wheel locking up on me. I'm $1800. 00 in the hole due the this problem. I'm now seeing this is a serious problem with jeep compass. They need to do something to accommodate all of their customers for this ongoing problem. I want some answers!!!
