Consumer Description

I'VE BEEN INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT MY SUBFRAME ON THE GROUND END IS ROTTED OUT AND WILL PROBABLY CRACK IN HALF IN LESS THAT S YEAR. I KEEP REPLACING BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARMS BECAUSE THE FRAME IS SO WEAK IT IS STARTING TO BOW AND CAUSE EVERYTHING TO BECOME OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 75000 MILES ON IT AND NEVER OFF ROAD. CHRYSLER CORP TOLD ME ITS PROBABLY TIME TO BUY S NEW CAR. THIS CAR IS S MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND MY SMALL CHILDREN. HOPEFULLY NO ONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THEY SEE A PROBLEM.
