1 Ball Joint problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2019

Now while a trip to which I rolled over 39000 miles, I have a ball joint explode putting my family in danger and causing me to now need that repaired, new tire, and full alignment. I called the local dealership I have used for years and am told to bad at 36031 miles you are on your own as warranty is over and have had to take to firestone due to safety emergency as it was the closest repair center to where I was and driving any more on this was putting my life in danger. I call in and get the yep warranty is over conversation as well. I then look and find the drivers side ball joint on the 2017 is on national backorder and that this is a known issue with this model and year. Seems there was some sort of issue with quality and there should be a recall put in on this as it is a very very dangerous problem and is happening at an alarming rate. A ball joint shouldn't be exploded like this in 39000 miles on any vehicle. Forums and the repair center I went to said this is a huge issue on this model and year and that the parts are on a nationwide backorder because it is a defective part.
