Wheel Problems of Dodge Stratus

I have noticed when I am turning my steering wheel to the left or right there appears to be somewhat of a lack of control and loosening of the front end of my vehicle as I am driving. Also, the suspension on my vehicle has become much more pronounced negatively.

I was driving like normal, then when I went up the ramp onto the the shopping center, the right wheel all of a sudden hit the passenger wheel well and the rim was hitting the brake caliper. It was in motion, on a city street.

I was driving doing about 25 mph. Thank god I wasn't driving any faster when all of sudden. I heard a loud noise. I had lost control of the steering I ran in to a guard rail my car didn't want to go because the right passenger front side was totally touching the ground I got out the car seen my entire front passenger tire was off the car. I then started crying. I just bought this car in July 2019 98,000 original miles. Bad purchase decision!.

When driving home the 2006 Dodge Stratus sxt sedan as mentioned broke on me and my family into a store parking lot where the entire wheel came off the car leaving me and my family stranded luckily we weren't on the hwy driving hwy speeds or im sure me and my family wouldn't probably be living here today. I went online to check we're there any recalls on this vehicle and it came back as ball joint assembly which is the cause of the damage to my vehicle.

I was driving home went to go turn left and there was a loud noise. I stopped the car look at the front and the ball joint on my front passenger side snapped, this exact problem is on the recall list but my car isnt on their.

Was driving 25 mph driving on paramount blvd at whittier blvd, in pico rivera, CA, when the car made a loud clunking noise, then felt as though we were dragging something. Only drove 50 feet before pulling over, as it was impossible to drive. We thought it was initially a flat tire, until we got out. Our mechanic inspected it, and determined that the lower control arm had failed on the passenger side. It was clear from the picture that the ball joint was rusted and snapped free of its housing.

While in motion front driver side fell apart my wheel broke off,while going through the parking lot of a grocery store.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Dodge Stratus. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the front passenger wheel would rattle. The contact also stated that while braking that there would be an abnormal squealing noise coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 139,000. Wh.

I was backing out of the driveway on his way to work and all of a sudden he couldn't steer. The right front tire just turned in sideways and wouldn't move with any movement of the steering wheel. We jacked up the car to see what happened and we saw the arm with the ball joint was completely detached from the socket. By the looks of it, the crack is near the retaining ring groove. We can manually move the tire as it is completely detached from the front suspension control arm. I was very upset with this and the fact I wasn't notified this was an issue. Not only could my life have been in danger but also my nephew who I let use the car and all of those other drivers on the roads everyday. An issue like this would for sure cause a fatality at a fast speed as I drive the interstate daily with my twin girls. This issue best be fixed and more notification is requested on any other issues pertaining to my car! if its not a recall, make it a recall! very dangerous!!!!!.

While I was driving the front driver side wheel broke off it was the control arm I have had it fixed. A couple of months after that incident I had the front passenger side tire also do the same. I got it fixed. Now my back driver side wheel is tilting in like it wants to break off. Since noticing this I have not driven it and has been stuck in my driveway 4 months until I can figure out a way to get it fixed without having to pay for something like this again.

One day I went to back out, I turned the wheel and hear this crunching, clunking sound which sounded like a huge rock scrapping on metal. I immediately stopped and walked around the car and saw nothing. It started again as soon as I started the car back up. Anytime I turn the steering wheel, I heard this sound. I took it to a mechanic who told me it was the tie-rod ends. He said a lot of people have this issue but there was no recall yet. I called the dealer to see if they would fix it since there were a lot of complaints. Nope ! the dealer said they could not fix it for free without an official recall. It's a costly repair $900-$1100 b/c it requires many different services - tie rod ends, tires, balance, alignment, but they would not drop the price by a single penny. Now they are doing a piecemeal recall beginning with the trucks. Why not force them to recall them all ? I have been on multiple sites and I have seen complaints from as far back as 2003 to as recently as 2014. I wish the government was a hard on the dealers as the dealers are on the buyers.

Heard a pop, pulled over and the tires are in different directions. Called the local dealer and they say no recalls on this VIN, however, the parts it seems were recalled for other VIN numbers on this vehicle. Specifically recall id 79805 and recall id 86458.

First off, I bought this car from my sister. . . The ball joint broke on me within a month. . . Probably not her fault. However the car was making a lot of noises and clanks and creaks, I was told it was just the bushings, guess I found out it wasnt the hard way. About a monthe after the ball joint was replaced the rear strut broke and was rubbing the inside of the rear passenger tire. After that was fixed, about 3 weeks later I was driving home from work and heard an odd grinding sound started to sound like a flat, pulled over to discover that all of my lugnuts had been pushed off somehow and the rim had grinded down the posts. It was only holding on by 1 lugnut and it was almost off too. Most recently the car keeps overheating, replaced the thermostat, and checked all fluids none of which were leaking. Still haven't figured that one out. . . All the fans are running also. And today the caliper broke while I was driving. It caught on the rim and made me come to a forceful stop. I dont know if this is just bad luck or a piece of crap car, hopefully these situations re occuring one after another isnt happening to anyone else. I regret the day I ever bought this car, constantly sinking money into it just to keep it running, I swear im gonna scrap it as soon as I get my taxes, I couldnt let any one else own this godforsaken car.

These wheels bend too easy. After having replaced 2 wheels already, and now needing to replace another two (due to bending from small potholes most likely). These are made as "spun aluminum" and have little to no strength. (note: wheels are Mitsubishi manufactured, Stratus r/t is similar to the eclipse. Note the wheel problems listed there are very similar. ) dt.

The right rear wheel (rim) has small holes in it and the metal seems weak and the dealer says tough luck. I brought the problem to their attention about two to three days after purchase and no one could find the problem. Now my warranty has expired, and they say it has never happened before. Are there any previous problems with Dodge Stratus rims 15inch, 5 lug, 5 spoke?.
