2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING Steering Problems

AS I DRIVE MY SEBRING, EVERY DIP, HOLE OR CREVASSE MY CAR HITS(GOING 30 AND UP ITS DANGEROUS) SENDS IT WAY TO THE SIDE, DOESN'T HAVE AN EXACT SIDE EITHER. DOES IT BOTH WAYS. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY LOWER BALL JOINTS SO POSSIBLY MY CONTROL ARMS AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT THIS SPECIFIC CAR HAD ISSUES WITH THE CONTROL ARMS. THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES RIGHT NOW IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THIS CAR DID ACTUALLY HAVE A RECALL OR A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD COMING TO A STOP LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR HAD JUST TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. LUCKILY THERE WAS A TURN LANE AND THE LIGHT WAS RED SO I DIDN'T CAUSE ANY ACCIDENT. AFTER THAT I TOOK MY CAR TO SEE WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE CODE STATED IT HAD TO DO WITH THE OXYGEN SENSOR. I REPLACED THE PART AND THE CAR RAN OK UNTIL ANOTHER TIME I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR TURNED OFF AGAIN. I'VE NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN GOES OFF AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. I WAS TOLD I PROBABLY NEED TO REPLACE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET WHICH I BOUGHT BUT HAVEN'T REPLACED BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL OF OTHER SEBRINGS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT...

THHE STEARING WILL LOCK UP AND BELT WILL SQEEL EVEN WHEN THE BELT IS TIGHT GOT WORSE TILL LINE BLEW WIDE OPEN NOT GOOD WHEN HAVING KIDS THANK GOD NOT IN CAR WHEN IT HAPPEN.ALMOST LOST IT.THIS IS NOT A NORMAL THING IVE LOOKED ALOT UP ON THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN MAKING TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10E059000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ME AND MY KIDS WAS LEAVING OUR HOUSE AND DRIVING DOWN THE STREET I RODE ABOUT 5MILES AND THEN MY CAR START TO SWIRL THEN IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO STEER. SO I GOT OUT THE CAR AND NOTICE MY FRONT TIRE HAD WENT IN. AND I HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE HOUSE. AND COME TO FIND OUT THE BALL JOINT HAD BROKE. BUT BEFORE ALL OF THIS I HAD NEVER RECEIVE NO RECALL TO BRING MY CAR IN TO GET THIS CHECK AND I'M DOING RESEARCH AND IT STATES THAT THEY HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS BUT I NEVER RECEIVE NO INFORMATION. TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE END OF ME AND MY KIDS LIVES IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

MY 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING LT STALLED OUT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF IN INTERSECTION IN A LEFT TURN LANE. COULD NOT GET CAR RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AND WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ONCE I HAD RESTARTED THE VEHICLE I MOVED OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHERE IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THIS ALSO HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF STALL WOULD HAVE HAPPENED 2 SECONDS LATER I WOULD'VE BEEN T-BONED BY A PICKUP TRUCK. UPON STALL THE CAR ENGAGED THE E-BRAKE AND ALSO LIT UP THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS : ENGAGED EBRAKE, OIL, BATTERY, AND ENGINE. *TR

AFTER TURNING AROUND IN A TRAILER PARK PARKING LOT JUST STARTED GOING FORWARD WHEN THE LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM THE LOWER CONTROL ARM CAUSING THE LEFT FRONT TIRE TO COLLAPSE FROM UNDER THE CAR AND DISABLING THE STEERING. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE STREET AT NORMAL SPEEDS IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR CRASH. *TR
