I was driving on the highway and the car started shaking when I reached 65 MPH. When I got to 70 MPH, it stopped I thought I was okay but I wasn't. The tire separated from the axle and the lower control arm fell off causing me to crash. I ran into a guardrail and if it wasn't there, the car wouldn't have stopped and I could possibly be dead. Upon impact, the air bags didn't deploy either. This is life threatening. Something needs to be done about this vehicle!!! This isn't the first time the control arm fell off. It fell off 3 other times to. I am fed up with chrysler. They won't do anything about this vehicle. It is a casket on wheels. It is a death trap and the next time something like this happens, the person might not live to tell the story. Hopefully nothing like this happens but if it does, maybe it will wake chrysler the [xxx] up!!!! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
