Description of the problem	The car was on the lift for a routine oil change when my mechanic checked the tires to see if i was having any issues with the ball joints. He has another jeep patriot in the garage with problem ball joints, that car has just slightly less miles than mine does. He then called me notifying me that ball joints were bad, one he considered dangerously bad and he would not allow me to drive the car home. He has since replaced the severely damaged one, but was unable to replace the other as there were no parts available to do so. This is the second suspension problem i have had with this car. I had to have tie rods replaced at 15000 miles ( covered by warranty). I do not use the vehicle off road and i am rigorous about keeping up with all scheduled maintenance. I spoke with the dealer and was given the run around, so i called chrysler and am waiting to hear back from them. My mechanic feels that this is something that should absolutely not have to repaired at this stage, given the mileage and the condition of the vehicle. Due to this issue i have some pretty serious wear on tires i just replaced in september of last year.
