| Description of the problem | Took my 2007 jeep compass in for an oil change and tire rotation and was told that the lower ball joint on the front passenger side was bad and that i should get it repaired as soon as possible; that it was very dangerous to leave it as is. I found this website and found that this seems to be a very common problem. My car has 36,600 miles on it. The warranty was up at the end of july. How convenient. I plan on calling the dodge chrysler dealership in the morning and seeing if they will be able to help me out without this costing me a fortune. Seems to me like this is a parts problem and that a recall should be issued. |
