MY SON RECENTLY HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS CAUSED BY HIM GETTING OFF OF THE SHOULDER OF AN OFF RAMP. WHEN HE RAN OFF THE SHOULDER, HIS LEFT FRONT WHEEL BROKE OFF AT THE BALL JOINT MOUNT. THIS CAUSED HIM TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT A CONCRETE BARRIER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHICH CAUSED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL TO ALSO BREAK OFF AT THE SAME PLACE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS SEVERELY INJURED.

I AM NEW TO THE VOLVO MARKET AND DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM, BUT WE'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? TO ME, THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW. MIGHTY DAMNED WEAK.

I WOULD WELCOME ANY INPUT. THANKS
