Air Brake problem #1

I own a 2005 Ford 500. I have had to have the right passenger front ball joint tightened several times. The local Ford dealer does not what is causing this issue. The ball joint becomes loose cause the front end to come out of alignment and will jerk the car across the highway.

Air Brake problem #2

The ac is not working on my Ford 500. It started this season. I have not had trouble with it prior to this year. I have not seen a recall on this but my sister also has a 500 and hers isn't working as well. Many complaints are being listed. I have not take it to the dealership due to being out of warranty and it is too expensive for the dealership to repair. Please, please consider a recall on this issue. Many 500 owners are having the same problem. It's one thing for it to happen to a small number, but numbers are increasing with this issue.
