Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that he rebuilt the front end of the vehicle and installed an aftermarket passenger side control arm. The part was manufactured by ultra power (part number: rk620486). While driving approximately 55 MPH, the passenger side control arm fractured approximately two weeks after installation. Due to the failure, one of the tires blew out and the driver lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. A local ford dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 191,000. The VIN was not available.

Ball joint I see previous complaints on this and I would like to have investigated again. It is the same issue noted in the previous complaint from 2009. Do I need to contact ford? Do they take care of this even though they did not do a recall? This happens when in motion there is front suspension collapse

I was turning a corner slowly when the car halted abruptly and slid slightly on the gravel road. I was surprised and got out of the car and observed the front driver side wheel was askew and not mounted onto the car. The ball joint was broken totally apart. The axle was broken, I had not hit anything in the road. The roadway was clear. The front driver side ball joint and axle had broken apart. The car had to be towed to a garage. The ford garage said there was no manufacturer recall on the ball joint. This event could have resulted in serious injury or death. I feel fortunate to be uninjured but I want this event noted because I have seen that you investigated the ford edge 2007 for this failure in 2009. Please reopen this investigation

I was going approximately 15 MPH while turning right when I heard a clunking noise and the right side of my car dipped more than it should. The right wheel (looking out from the vehicle) seemed to "give" when it turned. I took it into a body shop and they said that the ball joint was loose and needed replacement. At the time of the incident the mileage on my car was approximately 48k. I have only highway miles and do not do any off-roading. The clunking noise and "give"of the right ball joint continues to happen and a floating sensation is caused, which feels like the car will tip over when making right turns on the highway at more than 30 MPH.
