HI! MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE STRATUS AND THE CONTROL ARM BROKE AND THE AXLE SEPARATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CAUSING IT TO HIT A PARKED CAR. WE HAVE A POLICE REPORT THAT DOCUMENTS THE AXLE SEPARATION AND PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT THIS HAD BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 DODGE STRATUS SO I CHECKED FOR RECALLS BUT OUR VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL (10E059000). MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME THE CAR AND HE CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT APPARENTLY THERE WAS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. MY CAR CAN NOT BE REPAIRED. IN THE PAST THE CAR'S FRONT END HAD BEEN REPAIRED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND IT WAS DUE FOR AN INSPECTION THIS MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE STRATUS. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND A NOISE COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE STRATUS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING IN TRAFFIC, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING. THE CONTACT LATER OBSERVED SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I WAS HEARING A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM BOTH SIDES OF MY CAR IN THE FRONT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMER THAT MY LOWER AND UPPER CONTROL ARMS WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE BALL JOINTS AND LIFTED THEM UP WITH A HUGE SCREWDRIVER. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE TIRE COULD SEPARATE AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND PURCHASED THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND HAD THEM INSTALLED ON THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE RECOMMENDED ALIGNMENT I WAS TOLD THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. I HAD AT THE TIME ABOUT 169,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM ANYONE ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE SUSPENSION. ITS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND VERY UNSAFE. I PRACTICALLY RUINED A NEW SET OF TIRES BECAUSE OF THIS SUSPENSION PROBLEM AND I AM PRESENTLY EXPERIENCING WEAR DUE TO THE UPPER CONTROL ARM NEEDING REPLACEMENT.
