I checked the dealer and they ran my VIN and the recall was already fixed.
I actually took my car to the shop today. Here's the verdict, it was indeed the lower control arms on both sides that had gone bad. They ran the VIN to verify what the dealership said was true and it had been fixed. Not only were the lower control arms bad, but my driver's side wheel bearing went bad and the leak I mentioned was the transmission cooler lines leaking. Everything is going to be fixed for right around $400, which isn't too bad.
Thanks for all the feed back guys.
