1 Steering problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2020

At 77600 miles the car has had all the bushings and ball joints in the front steering to a point that it's swaying so much it's challenging to stay in the lane when encountering any imperfection on the road. Experiencing loud clicking and clunks and fear that if this develops any further the wheels will fall off. This VIN is apparently not included in this well known problem so would be covered under a recall. With the vehicle l lifted I can easily move the control arm about half an inch. This will cause the bolt to break off very soon with how quickly it has deteriorated.

Failure Date: 04/22/2010

Making a left turn in a Jaguar 2001 s type, the steering wheel lost all power and crashed into the median. Bounced off the median into the street and crashed into a passing vehicle.
