Description of the problem | I bought this car, a 2007 pontiac g6 gt coupe about 2 years ago and it only had 37,000 miles. It now still only has 75,000 and the ball joints are out! This should not happen this soon. I have another car, a 1997 buick lesabre and it's ball joints are still in good condition. It has 167,000 miles. It caused all of my tires to wear out early and now i'm looking at over a 1000 dollars to fix it. This is obviously a design problem. The car is undriveable. It's not safe to be driven because of these ball joints going bad so early. I guess i'll have to go back to driving my much older but much more reliable car. |
