While making a left turn at 5-10 MPH, the lower control arm suspension broke folding sideways and causing the car to be puller left into a parked car waiting to make a turn. Fortunately it broke at a very low rate of speed. The car had just exited a 60 MPH highway. The body shop stated that chrysler must have known about the weakness since the replacement part it significantly heavier built (see photo).

Driving my 2015 chrysler 200s and I'm hearing squeaky noise whenever I go over a bump in the road. Took my car to the shop and was told that I need a lot of front end work done, and that my lower control arms were bad as well as my struts. To add more insult there are no struts on the market for this car. This car is only 3 years old......

This car was rented to me by enterprise leasing company in the chicagoland area. As I was in the process of making a left turn (west bound) onto a residential street, I had the passenger side front tire break away from the chassis causing me to lose control of the vehicle and hit two parked car. After the collision, I inspected the car and found the passenger-side front tire broken off and positioned 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the car in the wheel well. The hubcap side of the tire was facing backward, relative to the car, broken off from the lower control arm with the frame of the vehicle resting on the street.

We were at a stop sign when we heard a noise and felt a jolt. We got out of the car to observe what had happened and discovered that the ball joint was not properly installed from the factory. The pinch bolt was installed but the head of the ball joint never passed completely through. When it came apart, it came apart with such force that it jerked the axel out and caused some minor body damage. The right front tire was flipped out and turned. The front end of the car was resting on the fender. As stated on the repair invoice...."lower ball joint separated from knuckle, doesn't appear to be fully installed. Replaced right front lower arm, knuckle, axel, splash shield. Relearn power steering and four wheel alignment". We were on our way to a week long vacation and had to spend it in a dealership and enterprise rental car agency. Vehicle was not repaired when we had to leave and come home. I have videos and photos. Spoke to chrysler care who seemed willing to work with us. I advised that my daughter was terrified to drive this car again. We had only had it 2 weeks. This was her first new car purchase. She is a full time nursing student and works a full time job. We asked that chrysler just replace the vehicle with one of equal value and was told by the buyback department that they were refusing to do that and that this was covered under the warranty. The vehicle is still sitting at a chrysler dealer in myrtle beach sc. It has been there over a month. Chrysler has refused to assist us. I have spoken to an attorney and was advised that I would need to sue chrysler corp. And the dealership. This vehicle passed 2 inspections at the dealer with faulty assembley. I have copies of all phone conversations, the time and name of who I spoke with along with a copy of the invoice. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
