THIS IS REGARDING INABILITY OF AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER (GENTRY FORD - BAKER CITY, OREGON) TO INSPECT AND DETECT A BALL JOINT PROBLEM WHICH WOULD BE EASILY DETECTABLE IN MOST VEHICLES. MY CONCERN IS THAT IMPENDING BALL JOINT FAILURE FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR/MODEL MAY BE UNDETECTABLE IN SOME INSTANCES EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER SUCH AS GENTRY FORD. PRIOR TO PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE, I TEST DROVE IT. DURING THE SHORT TEST DRIVE I HAD NOT NOTICED ANY SYMPTOMS OF LOOSE BALL JOINTS ALTHOUGH I DID NOTICE SOME WANDERING ON THE FREEWAY BUT ATTRIBUTED IT TO LOCAL ROAD CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY I NOTICED THE WANDERING STEERIN
