Ball Joint problems of the 2005 Jeep Liberty

My heated seat was on low and it has been getting extremely hot lately, well today it caught on fire. And about a month ago my ball joints all went out while driving.

Bushing and body bushing on front of the vehicle, squeak very loudly anytime the vehicle is in motion, or when someone enters or exits the vehicle, the added weight to the vehicle, causes the vehicle to squeak from the front underside of the vehicle, every bump or ruff spot in the road, turning the steering wheel either direction, even the slightest causes very loud squeaking, the squeaking is present with simple rocking of the steering wheel. The steering feels tighter and simple turns require more body muscle use, when the vehicle is both in motion and stationary. The squeaking/rubbing is present, at all times, when even the slightest amount of movement or position changes from driver/passengers inside the vehicle. Feels like the front of the vehicle is about to fall out, or that the friction from the rubbing or pieces in the front/ front suspension, is going to cause something to wear down and break, which could cause control of the vehicle to be lost, and could result in an accident, that could potentially be fatal. When I do a general search for recalls on my particular vehicle make and model, it shows 2 regarding the front suspension, and ball joints, however when I search recalls using my vehicles VIN number, it shows �0 unrepaired recalls� but I have never had any recalls repaired on my vehicle, and the recalls that show active, fit the issues going on with my vehicle, and I'm not sure why my 2005 Jeep Liberty renegade, fits into the vehicles with the recall concerns present and active, but my vehicle doesn't show and one that need to be repaired based on the active recalls.

I was informed that I would need to replace the ball joint suspension on my 2005 Jeep Liberty before it could pass inspection. When I called the Chrysler recall hotline, the representative stated that they would not pay for repairs to the Liberty b/c it was already repaired during the recall. But they were more than willing to help me find a dealership to where I would pay for the repair. This was from a faulty design, this is not from wear and tear that occurs when owning a vehicle.
