At 77600 miles the car has had all the bushings and ball joints in the front steering to a point that it's swaying so much it's challenging to stay in the lane when encountering any imperfection on the road. Experiencing loud clicking and clunks and fear that if this develops any further the wheels will fall off. This VIN is apparently not included in this well known problem so would be covered under a recall. With the vehicle l lifted I can easily move the control arm about half an inch. This will cause the bolt to break off very soon with how quickly it has deteriorated.

My vehicle was taken to the dealership it was purchased for an AC repair in september. I was then informed that both front control arms and both ball joints needed replacing immediately for $3,000! I went home and checked online to find that my car had a recall issued (recall #6434) for the exact items I was now being told to replace. I am the original owner and never received any correspondence regarding this recall and I still reside at the same address. I've asked both the dealer and jaguar to please take care of the recall but they are stalling; I am now worried about my safety in my automobile. The facts are that 38,681 of their autos were affected but only a few were repaired-- [xxx] at jaguar 800‑452‑4827 is proposing $659 to apply to the $3,000 I would owe. I have sent two additional e-mails asking to speak to a supervisor. As of today, I have not been called, nor has there been any reply to my 2 e-mails asking why they won't repair my car. I need help to get this matter resolved. It is wrong to never contact me and now expect me to pay for the repair!
