2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING Wheels Problems

ON MAY 17,2010 WHILE DRIVING TO COLLEGE, I NOTICED A LOUD WHINING ROUGH SOUND, AND EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP IT WOULD SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE COMING FROM MY TIRES. BEFORE, I COULD STOP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND MY CAR RAN OFF THE ROAD WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN CONTROL MY SEBRING OVER CORRECTED AND ENTERED A COUNTERCLOCKWISE SPIN. I CROSSED 5 BUSY LANES BEFORE STRIKING A DITCH. MY CAR STOPPED OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC!!! JULY OF 2013 I HAD MY LOWER CONTROL ARMS, AND BALL JOINTS REPLACED. AND AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 14,2014 I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE SHOP AGAIN FOR LOWER BALL JOINT DISCONNECT AND REPLACE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. AND AGAIN THIS YEAR FEBRUARY 24, 2015 FOR THE EXACT SAME THING; REPLACEMENT OF LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND LOWER BALL JOINT. THIS CAR IS VERY HAZARD I...

WHY IS CHRYSLER ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THEIR RIM PROBLEMS? WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH TWO SEPARATE CHRYSLER VEHICLES' RIMS BEING UNSUITABLE FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. ONE CAUSED A BLOWOUT ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE OTHER CAUSES CONSTANT AIR PRESSURE ISSUES. THE RIM ACTUALLY HAS A CORROSION CRACK ON THE FLAT PART OF THE RIM, NOT EVEN ON THE BEAD (THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER RIM). IF YOU HAVE A CHRYSLER, HAVE YOUR RIMS CHECKED REGULARLY. CHRYSLER CONVENIENTLY KEPT THIS OFF THEIR WARRANTY PROGRAM. PERHAPS THEY KNEW SOMETHING??? *TR

FIRST I HAD CONTINUOUS OIL LEAK SO THE PAN OR SOME PART WAS ORDERED AND INSTALLED. THE OIL IS STILL LEAKING OUT OF THAT PAN OR PART? THAT WAS A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS INCLUDING CHECKING THE CONSTANT FLICKERING OIL LIGHT WHICH NOW JUST FLICKERS AND I PAY IT NO ATTENTION. THE SECOND ISSUE WAS A COMPUTER CHIP OR SOMETHING, THE CAR WOULD JUST NOT START SO I TOOK IT IN THAT WAS 800 SOMETHING BY THE TIME THE CAR WAS GOING AGAIN. THE THIRD ISSUE WAS THE CONNECTER THAT HAS THREE HOSES TO IT WENT BAD AND SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER HOOD AND WHEN I OPENED IT THE WATER WAS SPRAYING LEAKING AND OF COURSE EMPTY WHICH WAS ANOTHER 300 BUCKS AFTER TOWING PARTS LABOR ETC... THE CURRENT PROBLEM IS THE STEERING WHICH I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH I JUST DO MY BEST TO STAY IN THE LANE. ALSO...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ALUMINUM WHEELS HAVE BECOME PITTED OVER TIME WITH NORMAL USE. THE PITS ALLOWED AIR TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE SIDEWALL, WHERE THE RIM AND TIRE MEET. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE WHEELS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL IN ORDER TO AVOID THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.

DT: THE WHEELS CORRODED FROM THE INSIDE AT THE CENTER HUBS. THIS HAPPENED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A STATE INSPECTION LAST WEEK AND THE INSPECTOR FOUND THIS PROBLEM. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER WAS GOING TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WHEELS, ONE WHEEL WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY CORRODED. CONSUMER WAS STILL DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO MAILING ADDRESS PROVIDED FOR THE DEALER BY THE CONSUMER. *AK

CONSUMER STATES: NOTICED AIR LEAKING FROM TIRES. CHROME WHEELS WERE CORRODED, AND IT CAUSED THE TIRES TO LEAK. HOWEVER, DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE CONSUMER OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT. *AK
