2006 Chrysler Sebring: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Sep 19, 2021 · Suspension · OR

Front ball joint came off and caused car to come to crash into road. It is now in a repair shop where I had it towed as it was causing problems sitting on road. If I had been going faster I m not sure how serious a problem to me or others on road it would cause. Possible death. It is being inspected by Advanced Automotive, 503‑364‑2046. The car has less than 50,000 miles on it and I don't understand how a front end (ball Joint) can go wrong that quickly. The only warning I had was a squeaking in the front end. Is this something normal? The mechanic said that there was a RECALL on this problem. Since I bought it used from a Chrysler dealer you would think they would clue me to the problems. HA HA.

There has been a film on the windshield ever since I bought this car. I have tried to clean it with several things advised and even took it to a place that cleans vehicles in our area, but no matter what, the film is still there. I have bought at least 3 new, different types of windshield wipers. There is a spot here and there on the windshield where you will have clear vision but it is not where it is needed. I have tried cleaning the blades also because of build up and the squeak is awful. This car has been the biggest disappointment and lemon that I have ever bought.
