"TAKATA RECALL I ALSO HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING BALL JOINT BREAKAGE AND NEED TO KNOW HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPEN TO ME AS OF TODAY. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AND I WILL CONTINUE TO RESEARCH MYSELF. I WAS BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE RIGHT LOWER BALL JOINTS BROKE AWAY.

THE LOWER BALL JOINT COMPLETLY CAME APART WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED AND FIXED BUT WAS NOT FIXED CORRECTLY. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR IT. IT COULD HAVE KILLED EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ARE STILL A SAFETY ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN WITH THE DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL LEWIS CHRYSLER/JEEP OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS RETURNED THE JEEP TO ME WITH NO RECEIPT AND SAID THE WORK WAS DONE. THE JEEP WAS SCHEDULED AT 9AM ON FEB.23.. AT 12:30PM THEY CALLED AND SAID IT HAD NOT BEEN STARTED YET. AT 1:30 THEY CALLED SAYING IT WAS DONE. THE GAVE ME THE KEY AND THAT WAS IT. I WENT HOME AND LOOKED AT MY TOYOTA RECEIPT FOR A SIMILAR RECALL. IT WAS VERY DETAILED. I RETURNED THE NEXT MORNING AND ASKED FOR A RECEIPT. THEY GAVE ME ONE WITH NO DETAILS. I SHOWED THE TOYOTA RECEIPT AND ASKED FOR THE SAME INFORMATION. FIRST THEY SAID THAT CHRYSLER/JEEP NEVER GIVES DETAILED RECEIPTS. AFTER I INSISTED, 10 MINUTES PASSED WHILE THEY WERE BACK IN THE OFFICE. THEY CAME OUT AND SAID THE WORK HAD NOT BEEN DONE BECAUSE A SPECIAL PART WAS NEEDED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE. THEY HAD SENT ME HOME THINKING THE WORK HAD BEEN COMPLETED. IF I HAD NOT RETURNED FOR THE RECEIPT I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN THE DIFFERENCE. THEN AND ONLY THEN DID THE MANAGER APOLOGIZE AND TRIED TO BLAME THE TECHNICIAN FOR NOT TELLING HIM. IT WAS SUSPICIOUS FROM THE START, WITH NO RECEIPT ISSUED AND GOING FROM NOT EVEN IN THE GARAGE YET TO BEING DONE IN UNDER AN HOUR.
