MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND HEARD A CLICKING NOISE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE HALFWAY INTO THE DRIVE WAY. GOT OUT AND RAN INSIDE TO GET ME AND I WENT AND LOOKED AT THE CAR AND THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE SO I GOT IN AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT DIDN'T MOVE AND THEN IN REVERSE AND THE SAME THING, SO I PUT IN DRIVE AGAIN AND THATS WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT END OF THE CAR DROPPED TO THE GROUND. AFTER INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT LOWER BALL JOINT WASN'T IN THE BALL JOINT KNUCKLE ANYMORE. THE WHEEL WAS BENT OUTWARD. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ON AUG. 29, 2005 JUST 3 MONTHS PRIOR. I HAVE ONLY PUT 3,000 MILES ON THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE INPECTED THE BALL JOINTS PRIOR TO SELLING IT TO ME SEEING HOW THERE IS A PRIOR RECALL ON THAT PART. LUCKILY I HAVE IT ON WARRANTY SO HOPEFULLY THERE WON'T BE ANY PROBLEMS WITH GETTING IT REPAIRED. REPAIRS STILL PENDING. *NM
