I BOUGHT MY 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING SEDAN IN FEBRUARY OF 2014. TWO MONTHS LATER IN APRIL THE BALL STUDS ON MY TIRES WERE POPPING OFF WHILE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STARTED WOBBLING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE PLACE WHERE I GOT IT FROM AND THEY FIXED IT. TWO MONTHS LATER IN JUNE THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE SAME TIRE. THE BALL STUDS FLEW OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE TIRE WAS HANGING ON BY ONE BALL STUD THE OTHERS WERE BROKEN OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AND IT WAS FIXED. NOW IN AUGUST MY BALL JOINT SNAPPED AS I WAS BACKING OUT A PARKING SPACE, WITH NO WARNING. THE WHOLE CAR FELL TO THE GROUND. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE BALL STUDS AND BALL JOINT SHOULD BREAK SO EASILY. IF I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET OR EVEN ON THE PARKWAY I WOULD'VE LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED. *TR
