ALL OF THE BALL JOINTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE; THEY WORE OUT COMPLETELY IN LESS THAN 18,500 MILES OF USE. THIS CAN CAUSE THE WHEELS TO FALL OFF, A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ACCORDING TO AN INSPECTOR AT AN OFFICIAL MASSACHUSETTS VEHICLE INSPECTION STATION. THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE BALL JOINTS ARE DEFECTIVE BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THEM AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 18,500 MILES ON IT. ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER, THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS MANY HUMMERS BUILT IN 1995.
