METALLIC NOISES EMITTED FROM JEEP COMPASS 2007 MODEL FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE. IT WOULD CREAK WHEN TURNING AND WOULD FREQUENTLY LOSE CONTROL OF RIGHT SIDE TIRES IN ADVERSE WEATHER. HAVE FIXED BALL JOINT TWICE NOW AND SEEMINGLY WEARS DOWN OVER AND OVER. REVIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL, THIS APPEARS TO BE THE NORM. A BROKEN DOWN BALL JOINT AND CONSEQUENT CRACKED AXIS WOULD MEAN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION: FLIPPING OFF THE ROAD, LOSING CONTROL AT HIGHER SPEEDS, ETC. THUS FAR WE HAVE AVOIDED SERIOUS INJURY BUT AT LESS THAN 30K MILES THIS SHOULD NOT BE A RECURRING ISSUE. *TR
