Description of the problem | Ball joint failure three times. Emergency brake on five speed never has worked properly. Replace engine at 70,000. Now the card end joint for the four-wheel drive is not working correctly. My biggest complaint is the ball joint failure for the third time. This issue also causes chain reactions in the tires i have had three sets of tires wear uneven and i wrote the company the first time to complain and got no response. I use my jeep to make my income and do not trust it any more. I do not recommend this vehicle to any one and will not pass it on to any family member. *nm |
