What owners wrote

Incomplete recall for lower control arms. My vehicle is making popping noises when going in drive and in reverse. Every once in a while will make creaking noises while driving down the road. All noises associated with the ball joints and control arms. The dealership took over a hour to come back and say they don't have the parts to fix it but think the brakes are where the noise is coming from. This is my only vehicle and my wife and 2 small children ride in it.
