“On december 2000, the lower control arms of the suspension of my 1996 Chrysler sebring were replaced. The replacement was due to noise and steering problems of the car. The lower control arms were then replaced due to the complaint and a recall on the lower control arms. On 26 january 2004, the lower control arm on the drivers side of the car failed as I drove in downtown atlanta.

“Was driving down the road approximately going 65 MPH. The front drivers side lower ball joint broke, causing the whole front of vehicle to drop to the ground. Slide a cross two lanes of traffic and 1 block later vehicle came to a stop. Also having problems with rear struts. I have had all parts replaced. The only damage to vehicle is the paint scrapes to the front lower part.”

“The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the front end of the vehicle shook, which caused a loss of vehicle control. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop, who determined that the rubber on the front lower ball joints had split. There was a NHTSA recall # 99v066003 which pertained to the lower ball joint. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.”
