My car has a detached tie rod ball joint and is causing a loss of steering control, and increasing the risk of a crash. My children are in danger yet your site says my vin has no safety recall after I reviewed the safety recall for my vehicle and noticed a connection. I can-??t afford any repairs and I shouldn-??t have to risk my life over a recalled problem with my make model and year vehicle.

Unknown. But upon googling I-??ve discovered a recall for ball joint separating from steering column due to bolt not tightened properly which explains the noise I-??ve heard since I got It which has now progressed to popping even up exiting the vehicle and shutting the door. Yet, -??0 unrepaired recalls-?? according to you.

While driving home from work I experienced my fourth or fifth malfunction error flashing across my digital display. It scares me because this time is different. This time the flash made the seat vibrate and before I had a chance to react, I totally lost control Of my steering even though I had my hand family placed on each side of the wheel none of my maneuvers resulting in the tires moving in any direction. I was trying to straighten myself out but the trajectory Steered me to the right side of the road and up over the curb which tore out my front end And, had it not been for my superb braking skills, id be headfirst into a big cement hole on the side of the road. Brakes We-??re locked out until I pressed on them 15,000 times it seems. Fortunately I am the only one hurt, I-??m grateful that no one else has been involved in this malfunction of supposed quality machinery. But this is a ridiculous thing to have happened to listen 1000 miles in the car, this thing has been malfunctioning since the first day that I drove it off the lot. No clue who to get in touch until I started researching this Very same thing, and I am terrified for anyone else driving one of these vehicles right now, because It can Totally happened to you, and you may not be so lucky to have all the injuries only for yourself.

First of all I know there is a break in period. The stering seems to be loose at times almost to loose when I-??m turning, especially a more sharper turn. The brakes are loud at a stop almost like they are warped but it only has 300 miles.the suspension, brakes, ,underneath the front end, and the steering do not feel like they are one unit.
