I AM THE OWNER OF A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY LX, . TWO OF THE TPMS TRANSMITTERS ARE NOW LEAKING AROUND THE STEM, CAUSING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. IS THERE A RECALL OF THESE TRANSMITTERS? THE INFORMATION ON THE TRANSMITTERS FROM ONE THAT WAS REPLACED IS: TRW 42753-SHJ-A820-M1 315 MHZ 217652-110 >PPA-GF33< 8D06923A 2399T IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT A DEVICE MEANT TO WARN OF A HAZARD IS ACTUALLY CAUSING A HAZARD, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ARE FORCED TO HAVE THESE DEVICES ON OUR CARS.

LOWER BALL JOINT FAILURE ON 2002 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. ORIGINAL LOWER BALL JOINT RECALL WAS NOV 03. AT THAT TIME MY VEHICLES BALL JOINTS WERE INSPECTED AND THE ALUMINUM HEAT SHIELD WAS INSTALLED. MY BALL JOINT WAS NOT REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 23911 MILES ON 29 JUL 03. I NOW HAVE 42665 MILES TODAY 25 OCT 05, AND THE LEFT FRONT BALL JOINT HAS FAILED. IT HAS EXCESSIVE BUMP (UP AND DOWN MOTION IN THE SOCKET) AND VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL AND ON FLOORBOARD. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND IS PARKED WAITING FOR NEW PARTS, BASED ON OTHER FAILURES I HAVE SEEN OR HEARD ABOUT. JEEP HAS USED AN UNDER RATED PART FOR THIS APPLICATION. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BALL JOINT ONLY LAST 20,000 MILES AND BE CONSIDERED "NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE" AS D/C WOULD CLAIM. SUMMARY: 2002 JEEP LIBERTY BUILD DATE:08/01 LOWER BALL JOINT FAILURES AT: 23911 MILES ON 29 JUL 03 AND 42665 MILES ON 25 OCT 05. ON ORDER ARE HEAVY DUTY SERVICEABLE REPLACEMENT BALL JOINTS FROM MOOG PART # K3199, WILL REPLACE ALL 4 BALL JOINTS WITH STRONGER SERVICEABLE MOOG JOINTS. I WILL BE KEEPING ALL 4 OLD JOINTS, INCLUDING THE FAILED LEFT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT. *NM

L999 DODGE DURANGO UPPER AND OR LOWER BALL JOINT FAILURES ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD. UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS USED AS ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER INSTALLED AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE KNOWN TO BE DEFICIENT ACCORDING TO NHTSA, AND ACCIDENTS AS WELL AS EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT COSTS HAVE OCCURED. I AM NOW IN MY FOURTH REPLACEMENT CYCLE, WITH UPPER BALL JOINTS HAVING BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AND THE LOWERS NOW IN THEIR SECOND TIME. NHTSA HAS FAILED TO INCLUDE L998 AND L999 MODEL YEARS, ALLOWING DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO SLIP THE NOOSE REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS USED IN 2000-2004 MY VEHICLES. NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE DODGE TO INCLUDE L998, L999 MODEL YEARS IN ITS RECALL INVESTIGATION. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE REJECTED MY TWO SEPARATE APPEALS FOR REPLACEMENT OR REIMBURSEMENT, ONE IN 2003 AND THE OTHER IN 2004 PARTS FAILURE DATES WERE 12/27/01, 12/27/03, APRIL '04 AND ON 12/L8/04.*AK

1. REPEATED RETURNS TO THE DEALER TO CORRECT A NOISE IN THE SUSPENSION. . WHILE DRIVING THE BALL JOINT SEPARATED CAUSING THE FRON WHEEL TO FALL OFF AND VEHICLE TO CRASH TO THE GROUND AND SKID TO A STOP.*AK 3. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. DAMIER CHRYSLER AND IT'S DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILTY FOR FAILURE AND AS OF CURRENT DATE IS SITTING AT DEALERSHIP LOT AWAITING OUTCOME OF LAWSUIT.

I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS AND IDLER ARM ON MY 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IF THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COMPONENTS BECOMING DEFECTIVE, THEN WHY DON'T THEY SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE THIRD SET OF BALLJOINTS THAT HAVE NEEDED TO BE INSTALEDL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST SET ALONG WITH THE PITMAN ARM WENT DEFECTIVE AT 29,000 MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM UNDER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY.
