NHTSA Complaint #703084 — 1995 CHRYSLER SEBRING

THERE WAS A RECALL IN 1997 ON CHRYSLER SEBRINGS BUILT FROM JULY 1994 TO JULY 1995 FOR A LOWER CONTROL ARM DEFECT. THE FACTORY LUBRICATED BALL JOINT WOULD DRY OUT AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WOULD COLLAPSE. THIS HAPPENED TO MY 1995 SEBRING. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS BUILT DURING THAT TIME THEY CLAIM THE VIN # WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLS THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS GOING TO REPLACE THE PART WITH A USED 96 PART, I AM AFRAID IT MY BE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, NOT THE TO MENTION THE LEFT CONTROL ARM STILL ON THE CAR AS ORIGINAL. I THINK THE LEAST THEY SHOULD DO IS ONCE THE PART IS ON MY CAR THEY SHOULD TEST THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE FREE OF CHARGE AND REPLACE THEM IF THEY FAIL. I ALSO SHOULD BE RE-IMBRUST FOR MY $500.00 I HAD TO PAY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, BECAUSE IF THAT PART DID FAIL, IT ALSO CAUSED THE SNAPPING OF MY HALF SHAFT ON THE LEFT SIDE. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH SUGGESTIONS AS TO0 WHAT I CAN DO I FEEL I WILL BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENED. *AK
