Consumer Description

I READ SEVERAL PT RELATED FORUMS AND MANY MEMBERS HAVE COMMENTED ABOUT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING FAILURES, WEEL SO HAVE MINE. I AM EXPERENCING VIBERATION FROM THE FRONT END AND WILL MAKE ARANGMENTS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE FORUMS IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF THEY WILL FAIL......BUT WHEN THEY WILL FAIL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MATTER THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFTY ITEM, AS TOTAL LOSS OF THESE BUSHINGS WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROLL OF THE CAR CAUSING A CRASH. THANK YOU 2002 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER DREAM SER 1.*AK
