Recall on ball joints; after recall was handle And joints were replaced. I am now (again) having to replace the ball joints again. So tell me why? the recall dud not fix the problem?

Do you drive a 2003 JEEP LIBERTY?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.

Tell us what you think.
