Ball Joint Problems of Jeep Commander

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the right front tire ball joint failed. The contact stated that after the ball joint fractured, the steering wheel seized as well as braking was difficult due to a brake fluid leak. The contact veered off into oncoming traffic and was only able to stop the vehicle after the axle fractured. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer or dealer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

It seem that the majority / every Jeep Commander or g. Cherokee has gone through one or more rack and pinion replacements. It is difficult to even find a steering rack to replace the defective one. . . As if that will last long. Chrysler needs to address this issue as if there are not enough issues with these newer Jeeps. I will never purchase a 2005 or newer Jeep again! Chrysler has really dropped the ball on this and completely ruined a great name for Jeep and their products. This Jeep is falling apart at not even 80k miles. If I had to pay someone - the dealer /"stealer" to replace all the defective parts I would have to sell my home. I have buckets and buckets of parts (rubber suspension components, ball joints, seized brake components etc etc) and now this. Nothing can be worked on, if you take it apart you better buy a new one. Everything is throw away.
