Consumer Description

HI! MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE STRATUS AND THE CONTROL ARM BROKE AND THE AXLE SEPARATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CAUSING IT TO HIT A PARKED CAR. WE HAVE A POLICE REPORT THAT DOCUMENTS THE AXLE SEPARATION AND PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT THIS HAD BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 DODGE STRATUS SO I CHECKED FOR RECALLS BUT OUR VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL (10E059000). MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME THE CAR AND HE CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT APPARENTLY THERE WAS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. MY CAR CAN NOT BE REPAIRED. IN THE PAST THE CAR'S FRONT END HAD BEEN REPAIRED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND IT WAS DUE FOR AN INSPECTION THIS MONTH.
