“Went to get my annual oil change on my 2008 Jeep patriot with only 42,000 miles on it. My mechanic called me at work and said my lower ball joint was about to fall out. Now the car is only 2 years old. I do alot of driving but no rough driving all highway driving. So I couldn't believe that ball joint would be bad after 42,000 miles. Now the bad part since it is out of warranty. I have to foot the bill for the replacement at over 450.00. Don't think this is right but what you going to do.”
