“My car start making a very loud squeaking noise when I turn or hit any small bumb in the road. So I took it to the shop and was told both front lower ball joint boots are broken the exact same way. Now what bother me is what the mechanic said next. I quote some type of suspension problem always happens on these cars. So my question is were there any recall about suspension on these cars? Online says yes. While my vin doesn't show one”
