1 Front Suspension Control Arm problem of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 10/27/2020

I was driving between 50 - 55 mph and without warning there was a really hard hit and loud noise that I thought may have been a blow out. It was daylight and no debris in the road that I hit to cause any damage. I had new tires that was approximately 5 months old and 44,000 miles on my vehicle. My insurance sent out people to look into the situation and it seems the right lower control arm and ball joint snapped which in turn cause the whole inside of my tire to be slashed.

5 Front Suspension Control Arm problem of the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 07/06/2011

Long story short my wife heard a noise in the passenger side front end. I had her stop by belle tire (where tires came from) to check it out. They said the passenger side lower control arm bracket separated from the frame and was not safe to drive! belle said they had never seen anything like it! I had it taken to town & country collision in flat rock (an a-1 shop) and they said they can't fix it unless they replace the whole frame! I also have a friend that's an insurance adjuster who has never seen anything like it! I'm wondering if there were ever any incidents in your system for anything like this? I will offer to give you the vehicle, as I did with Chrysler in my complaint to them, for investigative purposes? I know from my years of work in the automotive industry that there were salt spray tests & requirements on most chassis parts. People are astounded that a 15 year old Jeep that's never been in an accident and is garaged and kept clean and maintained and still running like top could have a failure as this! any assistance or direction you can provide is appreciated.
