Rear Suspension Shock Absorber Problems of Chrysler Sebring

Rear upper shock mounts broke. Made of allum. Why? corrosion will happen if you install allum next to sheet metal, also they were not painted. The new ones are at least painted. It does not seem to me to be very Smart to have allum. Mounts and unprotected.

Right rear top strut mount became noisy/creaking/thumps) during the winter. 2 weeks ago while driving home we heard excessive noise/creaking/thumping from right rear. While driving to work the next day noise was even louder. Upon inspection I found the shock had dropped through the mount and were wedged in the coil. Temporarily pushed it back up, purchased a new mount from dealer which was installed. Old mount, aluminum), had completely deteriorated. Now the left side was getting louder. Will replace before shock damage as well.

I heard a rattling noise coming from the back end of my 2001 Chrysler Sebring. I needed to pick up children and intended to look into noise when I got home. About a mile from home on a bumpy country road, the rear passenger side tire blew out. While changing the tire, it was discovered that the strut support had corroded and broken, throwing the shock into my tire. Tire is destroyed and strut/shock needed to be replaced. The mechanic looks at the other side and finds that it too is corroded and ready to break. A friend is a mechanic for a Chrysler dealer and says he has seen this before and Chrysler knows this is a problem, but has not issued a recall. This malfunction sent my car into the oncoming traffic lane, and I was just lucky that I was in the country and no one was coming the other way! the warranty on my car expired 2 months ago. Is Chrysler in any way responsible for the repair costs?.
