There is already a recall out for the upper and lower control arm ball joint assembly but olds is telling me that my truck does not qualify for this campaign..I think we need to expand this recall and that I am getting pushed around..thank you for helping me.
Dt: recalls 01I018000 and 01v200000 was issued but not on caller's car. Upper ball joint broke without warning and while driving. Dealer and manufacturer said callers vehicle was not included in recalls due to VIN. Manufacturer said if there was injury or death they would have done something.
