THE BALL JOINT TO DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT 50MPH, THE CAR VEERED TO LEFT AND SKIDDED ABOUT 500 FEET BEFORE I COULD GET VEHICLE TO STOP. WHEN I DID THE DRIVER TIRE WAS PERPENDICULAR TO THE CAR AND THE BASE OF MOTOR WAS RESTING ON THE GROUND. AFTER MITSIBUSHI REPAIRED THE BALL JOINT AND HALF SHAFT THAT ALSO BROKE. I TRANSPORTED IT TO OCALA FLORIDA FROM ODESSA TEXAS ON A CAR CARRIER SINCE THAT POINT I HAVE LEARNED ALL 4 MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. I CONTACTED MITSIBUSHI BECAUSE IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT FOR ALL 4 TO BREAK SUBSTANTIAL TRAUMA WOULD HAVE HAD TO OCCUR, THE CAR HAS NOT OTHER TRAUMA EXCEPT THE WRECK IN ODESSA WHEN THE BALL JOINT SNAPPED. MITSIBUSHI TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER HERE, I DID AND NOW THEY ARE DECLINING TO FIX MOTOR MOUNTS THAT I CONTEND WERE BROKEN DURING THAT WRECK. I HAVE A COMPLETE FILE OF EVENTS AND RECEIPTS AND NAMES I WOULD LIKE TO SEND VIA MAIL TO YOUR ASSOCIATION IF POSSIBLE PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH A MAILING ADDRESS SO I CAN FULLY EXPLAIN THE SITUATION AND PROVIDE THE PROOF I HAVE RELATING TO THE ENTIRE SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN SO FINANCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY STRAINED ON THIS INCIDENT THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE 8 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED IT USED, BUT PURCHASED TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND YET I HAVE HAD MORE UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS CAR THAN ANYTHING ALL RELATED T A BALL JOINT RECALL. THANKS SINCERELY PATRICIA REEVES. *AK
