I HAVE ALWAYS HAD ISSUES WITH THE BALL JOINT ON THE CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY CAN FAIL CAUSING THE BALL STUD TO WEAR THROUGH THE CONTROL ARM HOUSING RESULTING IN NOISE AND/OR SEPARATION OF THE BALL STUD FROM THE HOUSING. CONSEQUENCE: THE FEDERAL-MOGUL HAS NEVER NOTIFIED ME AS OWNERS AND REPLACE THE AFFECTED CONTROL ARMS FREE OF CHARGE. IT WAS OFTEN PAID OUT OF MY POCKET EVER TIME I HAD ISSUES AND THE SAD THING ABOUT IT, I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO THE ACTUAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE FIXED AND NOT ONCE HAD THEY MENTIONED THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER SEBRING AND LISTED AS A RECALL WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED FREE OF CHARGE.

COMING TO A STOP AND TURNING RIGHT. NOISE AND WHEEL JUST FELL FLAT ON ROADWAY. LOWER BALL JOINT DISCONNEDTED AND MADE STEERING IMPOSSIBLE AND CAR UNCONTROLLABLE. AFTER REPAIR ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE SAM WHEEL TOP BALL JOINT DISCONNECTED AND NEARLY RESULTED IN A ACCIDENT ON A BUSY STREET. THE MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED ALSO CHECKED THE DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINTS AND I WAS TOLD THEY WERE WITHIN SPECS. IN MAY OF 2014 WHILE DRIVING AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR THE BOTTOM BALLJOINT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DISENGAGED AND THE STEERING WAS LOST AND THE TIRE FELL FLAT AND NEARLY CAUSE A HEAD ON CRASH. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS AND DIVEN FOR YEARS AND THIS HAS NEVR HAPPENED IN MY LIFE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES ASAP. SOME RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE CASTING ON THE BALL JOINT RING WERE HEAT TREATED IMPROPERLY AND CHRYSLER IT AWARE THAT THIS COULD HAVE AND RESULT IN TH WHELL SEPARATION FROM THE CONTROL ARM LEADING TO STEERING LOST TO THE VEHILE AND DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS.. *TR

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE 2002 SEBRING THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE PARTS! REAR UPPER SHOCK MOUNTS BROKE. MADE OF ALUM.. WHY? CORROSION WILL HAPPEN IF YOU INSTALL ALUM. NEXT TO SHEET METAL, ALSO THEY WERE NOT PAINTED. THE NEW ONES ARE AT LEAST PAINTED. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO ME TO BE VERY SMART TO HAVE ALUM.. MOUNTS AND UNPROTECTED." "THE CONTACT STATED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, A NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR SECTION OF THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR STRUT MOUNT WAS CORRODED AND FELL APART. THE PART WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCATED IN A SALT BELT STATE." "THE REAR MOUNT THAT HOLDS THE REAR MCPHERSON STRUT IN PLACE, DISINTEGRATED. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS MADE OF ALUMINUM. IT FELL APART AND THE PART MADE A RATTLE SOUND, WHICH WAS THE STRUT MOVING AROUND. THE CONSUMER WAS GOING 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED IT."I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEALER STATEMENT THAT REPLACEMENT MOUNTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND ARE "BACK ORDERED BY THE THOUSANDS"!!!! *TR
