RECALL # 09V119000 RECALL DATE 04/09/2009 SUSPENSION: FRONT: CONTROL ARM AND RECALL # 06V288000 RECALL DATE 08/03/06 SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINT. VEHICLE HAS HAD PROBLEMS DRIVING WITH SPEEDS OVER 15MPH. HEAVY VIBRATION AND UNEASY DRIVING. DEALER MADE A REPAIR ON ONE LOWER BALL JOINT TO SATISFY RECALL BUT THE PROBLEM IS RETURNING. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALLS DO NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. THE RECALLS ARE YEAR AND MODEL SPECIFIC. IF THE VEHICLE RECALL AFFECTED ONE CONTROL ARM LOWER BALL JOINT IT SHOULD ALSO APPLY TO THE OTHER SIDE. BALL JOINTS SHOULD BE REPLACED IN SETS. BOTH UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINTS ARE PART OF THESE RECALLS. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANY DRIVER IF DEALERS CAN USE VIN NUMBER TO DISCLAIM NECESSARY RECALLS ON VEHICLES.
