BALL JOINTS WORE OUT ON FRONT STEERING MECHANISM. TOP AND BOTTOM BALL JOINTS AND TIE RODS HAD TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO PASS STATE INSPECTION. OVER $1,000 FOR REPAIRS. TOLD THIS IS PROBABLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY GO OUT A LOT AND THAT A RECALL COULD BE IN THE PROCESS AND TO CHECK WITH DOT BECAUSE THEY DECIDE ON RECALLS.
