Consumer Description

I HAD TO HAVE THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE REPLACED AT ABOUT 36,000 MILES, TIE ROD ENDS, BALL JOINTS, AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS. NOW ONLY 1.5 YEARS LATER (AT 53,000 MILES) ONE OF THE CONTROL ARMS IS BAD AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE WHY ALL OF THESE PARTS HAVE SUCH A HIGH FAILURE RATE BUT FROM DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND TALKING TO OTHER CALIBER OWNERS THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. EVENTUALLY SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET HURT DRIVING ONE OF THESE THINGS WHEN THE STEERING GOES OUT. I HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER PEOPLE ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY OF COURSE DON'T WANT TO ADMIT ANY FAULT AND INSTEAD IMPLY THAT YOU MAY HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM YOURSELF DUE TO YOUR DRIVING HABITS. *TR
