What owners wrote
On november 5, 2014 I had an accident in my mazda cx-9. The left front tire broke free from the car while I was entering the highway on an on-ramp. I was going about 50-55 MPH and about to merge into the first highway lane when the left front ball joint failed without warning and resulted in thousands of dollars in damage to my car. An insurance claim was files and the damage was repaired. I could have dies since I lost control of the car while entering the highway.
Traveling low speed to make right hand turn into driveway. Heard pop and crunch from driver's side. Lost control, unable to steer vehicle. Exited vehicle to find driver's side wheel lodged into fender. Further inspection showed lower ball joint sheared/separated and allowed tire to flop over. Resulting damage included lower control arm, cv axle assembly, shock/strut assembly, tie rod, fender, and door. Very fortunate to be travelling at low speed when failure occurred.
