Description of the problem	I started noticing a vibration and steering wheel shimmy. I took it in to get new tires and alignment. I was told (and shown) that both front passenger and driver side lower ball joints were bad and the front outer tie rod on the drivers side was bad. I was told that with only 41100 miles on the vehicle the parts should not be bad. I was quoted a price of around $1000. 00 to replace the defective parts. They could not do the alignment because of the defective parts and now i have a vehicle with $700. 00 worth of new tires sitting in the driveway. I have an appointment at the dealership in two days. I purchased an extended maintenance plan when i purchased the vehicle. We'll see if the dealer honors the agreement. I decided to investigate and have found numerous others who have had the same problems as i. I purchased the vehicle new and it's only been driven on paved streets and highways, never "off road".
