Consumer Description

ON MY 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING ONE OF THE BALL JOINTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL SEPARATED IN A PARKING LOT, CAUSING THE WHEEL TO BECOME DETACHED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED IT WAS RUSTED OUT WHICH WAS SURPRISING SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAD 37K MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MICHIGAN AND OHIO FOR 5 YEARS AND CALIFORNIA FOR 2 YEARS. THE MECHANIC WAS SURPRISED AND HE SAID IT NORMALLY TAKES OVER 100K MILES FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE CAR WAS REPAIRED (WITH REPLACEMENT OF ALL BALL JOINTS AND THE CONTROL ARMS) AND I HAVE THE PARTS. *TR
