• Ball joint separation investigation # EA02033

  Odi has received complaints that the subject vehicles have had one or both of their lower ball joints separate and cause the front of the vehicle to drop to the ground.Daimler chrysler¿s assessment of the ball joint failures is that the joint failure may be precipitated by the loss of joint lubrication.The loss of lubrication could result in accelerated wear and possible joint separation. Daimler chrysler believes that the loss of joint lubrication is the result of leaks or tears in the rubber boot that protects the ball joint.These leaks or tears could be caused by contact with other internal parts of the ball joint or torsional loading that twists the boot.By letter dated february 4, 2003, the manufacturer advised this agency of its decision to initiate a safety recall campaign for all of the 11,698 subject vehicles built from january, 1997 to march, 2001 to correct the defect identified in this ea (copy attached).The action is identified by nhtsa as recall no. 03v-034.

The ball joints are weak. Have been from the beginning. The don't last as long as with other cars and break fairly easy. It's a problem that needs to be addressed asap. I was very lucky, mine broke as i was pulling into a parking spot at a restaurant. I had just gotten off the interstate doing highway speed. *tr

Lower right ball joint came apart

While driving straight at 40 mph on a smooth roadway, city street, the right,lower ball joint separated from the a-frame. The steering wheel locked. I was able to guide the vehicle to the right edge of the roadway. There was no warning.. Noise or any other indication of the failure. Just the pop of the failed ball joint separating and then the right front of the car scraping on the pavement. Other vehicles in the area steered around me to avoid a collision.

Front lower ball joint broke.

I own a 2001 chrysler prowler and on september 25, 2010 i was driving home from a car show and the right front lower ball joint failed. The lower suspension "a" arm collapsed and the wheel caved in. Just an hour earlier i was driving on the freeway and this could have resulted in a terrible accident. This ball joint was the replacement from a re-call for all prowler ball joints. The ball joint that failed was the "new" design and i don't understand why it too failed. I had the car towed to the chrysler dealership and they replaced both lower balls joint under the previous "re-call" notification for the second time. *tr

Tl*- the contact said that the font spanking ball joint has a recall that has not been addressed. The contact said that he had made a right turn and accelerated to 16 mph when the ball joint failed. The contact said that he will have the car towed to a shop and that he will save all parts and the repair order.

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 plymouth prowler. The air bag indicator light illuminated and would not dim. Afterwards, the check air bag indicator light illuminated. A local mechanic diagnosed the clock spring as the failure. The current and failure mileages were 10,100. *ak updated 05/04/07.*jb
