2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING Wheels Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE FELL TO THE GROUND AND SUSTAINED DAMAGES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BALL BEARINGS HAD DISLOCATED AND CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BALL BEARING, THE RIM AND WHEEL ARM NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

I CONTINUE TO HAVE CHRONIC "RIM LEAKS" THAT BEGAN IN JULY 2009 RESULTING IN RANDOM FLAT TIRES. THE LOCAL TIRE SHOP REPAIRED AND RE-SEALED ALL 4 TIRES ON THE 1ST OCCURRENCE. A SINGLE TIRE THEN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN FEB '10, AND ANOTHER TIRE IN MAY '10. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE SITUATION IS ENTIRELY RANDOM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 36K MILES. *TR
