2 years ago, while driving between 5-10 MPH the right lower lateral ball joint broke in two, causing $10,000.00 in body repairs, recall repairs, all to the front end of my Chrysler Sebring.the local dealership had my car for 3 months working on my car. I never received a recall notice!!! Just minutes before I was on the interstate, we would have been killed. Now 2 years later and only 18,000 miles later my car is making a noise in the wheel. I take it back to the dealership and they say it is the ball joint ,( the other side) they said it is a non serviceable , it has rust and is dry. The dealership told me my car is not safe to drive!!!!!that the wheel could fall off again!!! But the part is not defective yet!!!! When is it defective?????? When I"m killed in a wreck??????? …
On 06-28-03 I was driving my car at a speed of 35 MPH, while driving my lower ball joint broke and my car lost controll. I was later informed of the recall on the lower ball joint, which I was never informed of, and was never repaired. I took my vehicle directly to a Chrysler dealership on that same day 06-28-03. They have had my car for over three weeks now and I have yet to be informed of what will exactly happen as far as repairs go. There was significant body damage not to mention any other damages that happened while my car was dragging on the ground. I have been getting the runaround by the company even though this is a known recall by them. I would appreciate any help from the NHTSA in resolving this matter in a more timely matter then Chrysler is currently.
