| Description of the problem | Driving at low speed on city street. Front left wheel collapsed due to broken ball joint. All wheels had been replaced a couple of days prior by tire dealer. Vehicle had a recall in 2005 for ball joints which was completed at 75k miles on march, 2007. Current mileage is 299,525 miles on that replacement. I do not think many owners keep vehicle for that number of miles. However vehicle is in good condition and potential seems to exist for bearing failure. I do not think that wheel replacement was the cause though something may have loosened during wheel installation. I did not file a police report or insurance claim. No other vehicle was involved. Original recall number: 05v225000, may 17, 2005. |
