problem #9

Avenger

  • 142,000 miles
The contact owns a 1995 Dodge Avenger. While driving approximately 4 mph, the vehicle spontaneously dropped on the front passenger side. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed that the front control arm fractured from severe corrosion, which caused the ball joint to fail. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and he is in the process of notifying the manufacturer in reference to NHTSA campaign id number 99V066003 (suspension:front:control arm:lower ball joint). The failure and current mileages were 142,000.

I have had this car in the shop twice in the last year to replace these ball-joints that were supposedly replace last August before I owned it. That means the recall has been done twice already and needs to be done again. What's the point in replacing a junk part with another junk part.
