| Description of the problem | i bought this car in 2008, it is a 2007 jeep ( 2014 or around). We had tires wearing out, and took it in for alignment and spent around $200 to fix tie rods and alignment. About a year later went in for oil change to dealer and they said my arm control in front of car ( 2) needed replacement. I get from reading on line and just that they knew that this was a possible problem, that this was a common thing. Since it is a safety issue, i am writing this to try and get this as a recall, i paid the almost $1. 000 to fix ( my daughter, we share car) but could you look into this and see if it is occurring more then normal ( odds are it is) and what the weakness is in the control arms, and because it can so affect ones ability to control car, has to be put on a recall.
