What owners wrote
NHTSA campaign id number 00v421002 make chrysler / model sebring / year 1998 [xxx] recall number 967 front ball joint fell apart and almost killed both of us . We were never notified by chrysler there was a recall on this vehicle or we would have had it looked at immediately .
History of failed attempts of dealer [ whitten brothers,richmond,va ] to diagnosis this problem and correct it. Problem is a harsh noise coming from the front[under ]the car when a road pot hole or imperfection [substantial ] is run over. The noise is pronounced , indicating some type of defect must be present.. The last time I was there at whitten bros the recall which would have corrected this was not issued yet...
