| The car (1996 dodge avenger es) was in to the dealer for service. the dealer called to inform me that the lower ball joints were ready to fall off the car and needed replaced at a cost of $260. i asked if this was the same ball joint that was covered in an earlier recall. after a long pause, the dealer confirmed that it was, and that they would take care of it (fix at no cost to me). a second service appointment was scheduled for a week later. the car went in, and the dealer replaced the lower control arms. when i picked the car up, i drove off the lot and immediately heard a clanking noise when ever i hit a bump with the right front wheel. i inspected the car myself and found a large crack in the frame around the front-most upper control arm mounting bolt on the right front strut tower. i took the car back to the dealer and the service writer remarked boy, that is the largest crack i've ever seen. you shouldnt drive that car because the wheel could fall off. i suppose the ball joints being bad and hammering the suspension caused that [frame] to crack. however, the service writer had no answer when asked how they missed the crack during the work on the lower control arm the day before. after several calls to the service department, the dealership general manager, and to the dodge customer service phone number; no one at dodge would formally acknowledge that the defective ball joints caused the stress crack or that a problem existed with the upper control arm; despite multiple complaints on the nhtsa website for sebrings and avengers with very similar problems. i have digital pictures of the crack if anyone is interested. it has since been fixed for the safety of my wife and children, however i am very displeased with how it was handled by dodge and the dealer. *la | |||

| I am the owner of a 1996 dodge avenger. i received this car from my father. on february 26 2004 as i was leaving work, something broke. upon having the car towed to the repair shop, i had to have the cv shaft, and the lower control arm assembly, replaced. this cost me out of pocket, $629.45. then on 10/1/04 i had to have the spindle assembly replaced. which cost another $ 325.16. i now realize that there was a recall on the problem with my car. i asked my father, who was the owner of the car at the time of the recall, if he was ever notified about the recall and he said no. i am upset now to find out that there was a recall and i had to pay for all the repairs out of my own pocket. i am asking if there is any way to be reimbersed for some or all of the expense that i incurred.*ak | |||

| In the am on 9/15/03 on the freeway traveling about 65 mph, lateral arm broke off on the left side of my car, causing the left tire to push upwards into the fender and the axle to snap in half. i had to put the car into park at 40 mph to get it to stop so i would not hit the concrete barrier or the i-5 sign. dodge did pay for the car to be repaired, but not more than 2 weeks later the car began to make a noise while reversing and while going over bumps in the road, they told me this is the brakes, but another mechanic said that it is the lateral arm again. dodge is refusing to pay to fix it and when i brought them the car they did not visually inspect the car, they only took it on a test drive. i have been having anxiety attacks everytime i hear that noise, my back and shoulder have been in pain and i have seen a specialist because of this. and to be quite honest i just don't have the money to repair the vehicle myself. also, the front brake rotars are warped and this is the 2nd time that they have been replaced in the 3 1/2 years i have owned the vehicle. i think that is a bit much.*ak | |||

| I was driving out of a fast food restaurant, and without any sign or warning my tire snapped off my axle! the service department at the local dodge dealership was closed so i had to have my car towed to another place that also works on my car whenever i have problems. the part that needed to be fixed was the lower arm control on the driver's side of my car. i was very lucky that day, because not more than 15 minutes before this incident i had just driven home, approx. 10 miles, on the highway in 5 o'clock traffic!! i did not get hurt!! i was never mailed a recall notice about the lower arm control; not even in 1999 or 2000!!!!!!!!! i bought my car brand new from dodge, so i feel like i should have been in somebody's computer system to be able to receive recall notices!!!! now, that i had to pay for the part to be fixed out of my pocket, how do i go about getting reimbursed? i got both the driver's side and passenger side lower arm controls replaced. *nm | |||
