Vehicle has approximately 45k miles, we were 2. 5 hours away from home on a paved highway driving 55mph and the front passenger side ball joint failed and upper control arm separated also instantly no brakes causing an accident . This is very dangerous and is going to kill people , we are lucky we didn't roll . I'm now afraid this will happen to the other side? chevy will not take the responsibility to fix it , our extended warranty only covered the upper control arm and not any of the other parts that had damage due to the ball joint . It was a 2. 5 hour tow as well . Also the tow truck driver said within a week this was the 4th chevy truck with the same issue 2 of them rolled . Side note , as I looked into this I haver found other of this same model vehicle to have the same problem , one that it happened at around 40k miles he fixed it then it happened again on the other side at around 50k miles on the same vehicle . There needs to be a recall , chevy has other models that have had this recall but no recall for my vehicle? links to related proof there is a big problem [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 80 mph, the vehicle skidded approximately 100 yards; however, there was no impact to the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was determined that the front driver's side upper control arm and ball joint had fractured, causing the front driver's side wheel to become wedged beneath the subframe. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer advised the contact to contact the insurance company to have the vehicle inspected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
