Filed Sep 23, 2010 · Suspension · 189 miles · CA

My 95 chrysler sebring has a squeaking noise on the passenger side towards the back tires I had it checked out they said the rubber piece on by ball joint is gone so the noise is from the metal rubbing and to be careful cause it can cause an accident if not fixed the balljoint will come off and tires. I also have a problem with my apr's shifting out of control while driving that I've almost had an accident couple times I have no choice but to drive the car that's all I have.

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??????? I called chrysler , they said the dealership overcharged and they will not pay anything else, the dealership says they won't fix it unless authorized by chrysler, so here I am with a car that I can not drive and a car payment and car insurance. My car only had half the recall done< the side that is making noise now was never replaced< the dealership told me I had a whole brand new front end!!! I have a car that I do not feel safe in and I can not even get it fixed under a recall notice , my car would have been cheaper to buy back than put all that money into it ($10,000) and now with only 18,000 miles from the first repairs , I don"t feel safe at all driving my car!!!! My car has sat for months , I need this problem resolved , I'm tired of all the run arounds and excuses , it is a safety recall!!!!!

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 federal safety agency in resolving this matter in a more timely matter then chrysler is currently.
