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. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WAS THE BALL JOINT CV AXLE THAT FAILED. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY GAVE HER A CASE NUMBER STATING THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL HER BACK .

Component: SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. IF THE RUBBER BOOTS ON THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINTS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION WERE DAMAGED DURING ASSEMBLY, DIRT AND WATER CAN INTRUDE. ALSO, MMC HAS ADDED THE POTENTIAL OF LEAKING MOISTURE, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE BALL STUD TO CORRODE.
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT TO SEPARATE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. THIS CAMPAIGN SUPERCEDES MMC'S PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN, SEE 99V-066.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT FOR WEAR. BALL JOINTS THAT EXHIBIT WEAR BEYOND THE ESTABLISHED TOLERANCE WILL BE REPLACED WITH NEWLY DESIGNED LATERAL ARM BALL JOINTS. BALL JOINTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE ESTABLISHED TOLERANCE WILL BE CLEANED AND A SPECIAL SEALANT WILL BE APPLIED TO PREVENT INTRUSION OF MOISTURE.

I WISH YOU WOULD RECALL THE FUEL RAIL WHICH CONNECTS TO MY CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI 2.5 COUPE,WHY, BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE WITH JUST A SPARK IT ALSO LEAKS AND I HAVE MY KIDS TO THINK ABOUT.

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!!!!

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. *AK
