Chrysler has recalled them and replaced them free for the first failure, but will not replace additional failures. A lower ball joint failure will cause loss of steering and will cause an accident. Every time they fail, they also destroy the rim. Chrysler knows very well that this is a problem, but will not cover the cost of replacements after they have repaired this item once. …”

However, I was told by the person repairing the car that the replacement part has the same problem of coming apart during driving and it is a major safety hazard. …”
