Eight problems related to front suspension lower control arm have been reported for the 1996 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Lower lateral arm broke on our 1996 Chrysler Sebring. Dealer and Chrysler have refused to fix the car under recall. This is the 3rd major failure and inconvenience of this part. The last failure was 8 moths ago. There is clearly a safety issue here as well as a mechanical defect.
On December 2000, the lower control arms of the suspension of my 1996 Chrysler Sebring were replaced. The replacement was due to noise and steering problems of the car. The lower control arms were then replaced due to the complaint and a recall on the lower control arms. On 26 January 2004, the lower control arm on the drivers side of the car failed as I drove in downtown atlanta. The failure caused the cv axle to dislodge from the engine and damage the braking system and body of the car. I the proceeded to contact Chrysler for an investigation. The case # is 120-241-89. The investigation was conducted 9 February 2004.
