2000 Chrysler Sebring

I was driving my car and fault something wrong with the steering and went to make a right turn I heard a noise and my car front passenger side of my car was on the ground and my wheel was under my car. Thank goodness for no one else being involved that day and thank God I wasn't hurt badly... I have never seen or have anything like that to happen to me... I'm glad my children wasn't with me... I'm glad I wasn't traveling down the road when that happened.....

was driving down the road with no warning car popped and made loud noise.. the left front of the car dropped down and steering was un responsive and came to a stop made a clunking sound when trying to move it out of road but was unsuccessful...

this is a test

I WAS NOT INFORMED OF A RECALL AND ME AND MY SON WERE IN THE VEHICLE DRIVING AND IT STARTED HOPPING ALMOST AS IF IT HAD HYDRAULIC. I TOLD MY SON TO FASTEN HIS SEAT BELT CONSIDERING WE WERE JUST LEAVING THE STORE AND PULLING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT CONTINUED TO WOBBLE AND I SPED UP TO GET OFF THE HWY AND THEN HEN THE JUMPING REAL HIGH AND HARD BEGAN I WAS GOING MAYBE 45 MPH AND THE AXLE OR BALLPOINT HAD SNAPPED CAUSING THE CAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND CAUSE ME TO RUN IN THE DITCH LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HARMED BUT WE WERE VERY INTERESTED MUCH SO SHAKEN UP.. I HAD NO ISSUE OUT OF THAT TIRE OR BALL JOINT BEFORE AND I AM NEEDING TO KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO TO START MY INVESTIGATION... ME AND MY SON ARE HAPPY NO ONE WAS INJURED TOO BAD. *TR

SEATBELT LOCKS UP TO WHERE U CAN'T PUT IT ON BEFORE DRIVING OR WHEN DRIVING AND SEATBELT IS ON IT SOMETIMES LOCKS UP AND YOU CAN'T MOVE YOUR LOCKED IN PLACE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING IF IT LOCKS UP IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE ON ANY ROAD OR FREEWAY IT'S MALFUNCTIONING AND IT'S ANNOYING ESPECIALLY WHEN U HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE AND YOU CAN'T GET YOUR SEATBELT TO WORK MAKING ME DRIVE WITHOUT IT ON.. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 4 YEARS AGO IT'S BEEN DOING THIS

II TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND I WAS TOLD I NEED NEW TIRES. MY TIRES HAVE ONLY 20K MILES AND A 60K MILE WARRANTY. THE TIRE SHOP CALLED FALKEN WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FOR OVER A WEEK BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CONSULTED ONLINE FORUMS AND CHECKED W/ SEVERAL TIRE SHOPS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FALKEN ZIEX 912'S HAD WEAR PROBLEMS AND THAT FALKEN HAD CUT THE WARRANTY TO 40K MILES AND THEY WOULDN'T SELL THEM. CONSUMER REPORTS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THEM IN 2010 WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THEM. MANY PEOPLE ONLINE ONLY HAD THEM LAST A FEW MONTHS AND ONE LADY I RECALL 6 MONTHS AND ALL GOT NO HELD OR RELIEF FROM FALKEN. WHY WEREN'T THESE RECALLED AND PULLED FROM SALE? FALKEN TOLD THE DEALER I WOULD NEED TO BUY NEW TIRES AND THEN THEY'D CONSIDER MAYBE REIMBURSING ME A SMALL AMOUNT. I AM DISABLED ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT DO THIS AND I DO NOT TRUST FALKEN OR THEIR BRAND. I NEED TIRES FOR MY CAR NOW AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
