“10/2012 - (aprox 115,000 miles on vehicle) vehicle was turning left onto a city street when without notice the right rear ball joint broke off and forced me to the side of the street. Luckily there were no cars directly behind me. The vehicle had to be towed and repaired. The left ball joint was deemed good at that time. Once in repair, front tie rods where also replaced in prevention of any failure because of there poor condition. …”

“2006 Rendezvous tire pressure was low on all four tires. The vehicle is equipped with 17 inch wheels. A few days after the vehicle was purchased the consumer noticed that the vehicle lacked the smooth ride and stability as his previous 2003 model. The consumer notified the dealer of the problem. The consumer checked the tire pressure and it was 28 PSI in all four tires. The consumer increased the air to 35 PSI as recommended but the vehicle became even more difficult to control at highway speeds.”
