There are reports of several crashes but no injuries due to the issue in NHTSA’s investigation file. Gates said Chrysler recognizes there is a problem with the upper ball joints, but “we do not think it rises to the level of a safety defect.” Gates said a vehicle owner would hear noise coming from the vehicle well before the upper ball joint failed. Mechanics also will find out if an upper ball joint needs to be repaired during routine maintenance, Gates said. Gates said if the upper ball joint fails, it is most likely to happen at low speeds and during turns.
