SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
I WAS CONTACTED BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER REGARDING A SAFETY RECALL (F23) FOR LOWER BALL JOINTS ON MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. I FOLLOWED THE RECALL DIRECTIONS AND CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER (STEVE WHITE MOTORS) TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT MY REPAIR WOULD NEED TO WAIT 10 WEEKS DUE TO THE RATIONING OF REPAIR PARTS TO THE DEALERS BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER. I THEN CONTACTED THE "HELP" NUMBER FOR DAIMLER CHRYSLER PROVIDED BY THEM ON THE RECALL NOTICE. I WAS TOLD THAT ASIDE FROM HAVING MY VEHICLE INSPECTED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WITHIN A 20 MILE RADIUS FROM MY HOME, NOR COULD THEY PROVIDE THE REPAIR PART ANY SOONER. THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATES THAT THE FAULT IN THE PART "CAN CAUSE THE BALL JOINT TO...SEPARATE. BALL JOINT SEPARATION CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING." AND NOW I'M TOLD TO WAIT 2 AND 1/2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS CONDITION CAN BE CORRECTED. THAT'S 2 AND 1/2 MONTHS OF JEOPARDIZING MY WIFE'S AND MY SAFETY. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND SHOULD BE TO BOTH DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND YOU. *JB
