STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
12/8/2020: MY DAUGHTER HAD JUST RETURNED HOME FROM COLLEGE LITERALLY THAT MORNING DRIVING THROUGH NYC TO DE. THAT AFTERNOON SHE WENT OUT TO SEE A FRIEND AND THOUGHT SHE HAD A FLAT TIRE WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND STRUGGLED TO PULL OVER. IT WAS AT NIGHT SO WE COULDN'T SEE THE DAMAGE. WE CALLED AAA TO COME CHANGE THE TIRE. HE EXAMINED THE FLUID UNDER THE TIRE AND THEN IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT TIRE ROD FELL AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. WE COULD ALSO SEE A LONG BLACK TRAIL WHERE THE TIRE ROD DRAGGED ON THE ROAD BEFORE SHE COULD STOP. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID IF SHE DIDN'T STOP WHEN SHE DID SHE WOULD HAVE FELL INTO THE DEEP DITCH NEXT TO IT AND IT WOULD HAVE FLIPPED OVER. CONSIDERING IT WAS DARK SHE WAS LUCKY AND EVEN LUCKIER THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY IN NYC ONLY A FEW HOURS EARLIER. BUT WHAT WAS EVEN MORE DISTURBING IS THE FRONT UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE JUST REPLACE THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS DUE TO CORROSION WAS DONE AT THE DEALER, ALONG WITH AN ALIGNMENT. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V278000). IT'S CLEAR THAT THE RECALL SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE REPLACING THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS. THE WINDOW REGULATOR ALSO FAILED THE WEEK BEFORE.

VEHICLE WAS ON THE OFF RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD AND FRONT LEFT TIRE WENT FLAT. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE TIRE WAS FLAT DUE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED AND THE BOLT OF THE LOWER BALL JOINT ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS DRIVEN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE RIM AND PUNCTURING A HOLE INTO THE RIM. HAD THIS HAPPENED A FEW SECONDS EARLIER, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS, CAUSING A CRASH, PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAD A RECALL REPAIR AFTER I RECEIVED THE LETTER IN THE MAIL SO I WENT AND HAD IT SERVICED AFTER I WAITED FOR THE BACKORDER. I HAD THE REAR LOWER SUSPENSION ARMS DONE AS IN THE RECALL AT SECRET CITY DODGE IN OAK RIDGE TN. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A WEIRD CREAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR AND I TOOK IT BACK AND EXPLAINED TO THEM AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND HAD THEM INSPECT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T TORQUE THEM RIGHT AND THE NOISE WAS FROM FAULTY PARTS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGAIN SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEY SPRAYED SOME LUBRICANT ON THE BUSHINGS TO QUIET THE NOISE. IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AND MADE ME QUESTION WHY THEY HAD TO DO THAT IF THE PARTS WERE NEW. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY AGAIN SENT ME DOWN THE ROAD. WELL AS TIME WENT ON I WAS HAVING MORE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING AND HAVE BEEN TO TO OTHER SHOPS AND HAD BALL JOINTS ALL REPLACED AND EVERY SHOP SAID THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION ARMS WERE NOT GOOD AND I JUST WENT TODAY (JAN 23,2020) AND AND IT LOOKED AT BY A LOCAL REPUTABLE SHOP WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE THE STEERING IS OUT OF CONTROL.. THEY SHOWED ME IN THE BAY WITH MY CAR UP AND THE BACK WHEELS MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD BECAUSE OF THE BAD BUSHINGS IN THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS THAT WERE REPLACED BY SECRET CITY DEALERSHIP. THEY ALSO SAID THEY NEED TO BE REPAIRED ASAP AND I GOT THAT IN WRITING FROM THEM. I ALSO HAVE FROM A JEEP SPECIALTY SHOP ABOUT HOW THEY WERE INSTALLED WRONG AND HAVE THAT IN WRITING. I DID NOT WANT TO GET THEM REPLACED BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY ARE TERRIBLE WITH CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT MY SAFETY. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND IT HASN'T EVER BEEN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I USE IT TO DRIVE LOCALLY AND THAT IS IT. I HAVE CALLED NFSTA SEVERAL TIMES AND AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THEM. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. NOT MY FAULT
